    sorry I know an aside - but I hope you're just guessing there cos if those are real then how big a house and what on earth electrical appliances is he leaving on??? I have pre-payment meters (yes I know I should get them switched and I really will soon!!) in 3 bed house, end terrace, needs insulation (en route to sorting that...) and I have never spent that much elec (usually around £10 a week) and very rarely that much gas, only in middle of winter when snow on ground!
