    For the given period, I would be very surprised if it is wrong. You must have used some heating over the winter periods, otherwise your pipes would have frozen up.
    Gone ... or have I?
  • They did! I still didn't exactly use loads.

    Your bill does not indicate that you used loads. Do you know how much utilities cost? Your bill would still be very low if we had a mediterranean climate!

    Of course there aren't. No roof either?

    Typical - someone comes on here supposedly for advice and hits back with ' attitude ', if he put as much effort into trying to find work as he puts into to trying not to pay his way in life, he might get some respect.
  • There ARE no radiators, just a gas fire, serious! I'm in for a grant though.

    Used to run a business, I'm a copywriter. Keep your opinions to yourself.

    He probably expect utility company to let him off. Then the mugs who pay the bills will pay his share

    Some people want things for free, maybe he is one of them?
