My readings were low this time due to having 41 days away this year. i read mine on 30th March and sent in then a meter reader appeared a week later to check seals on the meters. When he saw tow old farts, he gathered we were not tampering with supplies.
Of course, i have many electrical items running 24 hours for the security cameras and lights plus pond and greenhouse heat etc so its not too bad a bill.
I also cancelled my TV licence last year. No one has contacted me and they cannot enter the house to see anything. Should have done it years ago.
