Luckily, I arrived home, just as the Electricity Meter dude turned up.
We stood together and he read the meter.
The reading he got was the same as I had made. Which meant that I had used over £800 worth of Electricity in 3 months?????
To say I was stressed is an understatement and he himself agreed that it could not be right.
He then rang Head Office! where he was put on hold for ten minutes.
He got that fed up that he cancelled the call and tried again.
In the mean time the original guy he rang, then rang me on my Mobile.
He told me and the EON reader that the reading could not be right and to read the second figure as a zero not a nine. This went against all his training and the advice on how to read a meter yourself on their web site.
He then stressed that the Meter must be faulty and the problem would continue if not fixed!!!
It will be fixed replied the Electricity expert........in 2017.
I then took the phone from the reader and spoke to the other guy, teaching him some new words and vocabulary.
The case continues.
However, for those that read the Blog I am posting proof in a photo above, just in case I am sent to prison for not paying a massive bill?
The meter reader made the reading 69644 (you are advised to read the lowest number first except when dial is between a zero and nine, then it is a nine.. The Electricity company say read it as 60644, which makes more sense, but means all the meter readers out there are giving wrong readings?
If the second dial is a 9 then that would mean that the first dial should be getting near the 7 or at least half way!!!
Confused???? Not half as much as me dear readers
