southern electric

asteraix

this is a bit off a long story i am with southern electric..economy 10...ii moved into a two bed flat 4 months ago.....i got my first bill today and its £465.....i have checked my meter and found out it is running 15 mins late which means when tarriff 2 kicks in i am 15 mins late which works out at 45 mins per day off cheap electric i am lossing i rang company and was told it was a minute detail and clock could not be changed to right time as it was a waste off their time......i have checked the other 3 flats in my block and they are all running late which means if you were to put your washing machine on at 1 am it would still be on the most expensive rate for 15 mins ps it happens 3 times a day i got a refund back from southern electric for £10 as a gesture off good will. is there something going on here as all the meters i have seen are running 15mins later than they should be or is it just me !!sorry a little long winded
