I need help!

been sitting at my laptop ALL DAY trying to balance bank account!

any of you lovely elite have experience of gas meter readings converting to KWh? I think I have found the reason why my gas bills are so high since moving to this house 2 years ago.
I had previously put it down to a carp boiler and we spent most of winter and ALL of this year freezing under blankets and boiling kettle for washing dishes....using electric shower for us! After the first year's bill nearly killed me!

Looking at the meter and the conversion factors to make that reading into KWh .......I THINK (and I may be very wrong about this) that EDF are doing a conversion based on imperial meter when in fact it is a metric meter.......MAJOR difference. The bills dont seem to show the calculation but google was my friend for this!

Looking at reading of 288 which was on just one bill last year......
Imperial method 288 units = 9057 KWh x3.353p=£303
Metric method 288 units = 3198 KWh x 3.353p=£107

The amount on my bill is £303 but my meter is METRIC ....despite having queried my bills with EDF for 2 years (based on previous costs for similar houses over many many years) nobody has ever mentioned this calcualtion.........could I be right? anyone know anything about these things before I make a fool of myself and query my bills YET again??:D

edit .....apologies for being OT yes i know there is another forum for this but i trust u lot! sorry for the long post too !

Hiya,

I've been lurking for a bit and thought I'd introduce myself - i hope you don't mind me invading! I've been hiding from the computer for about a year but before then was really into couponing - i thought I'd broaden my horizons!

I went to tesco's today to buy the pizza/ice cream/garlic bread deal but they had sold out of the garlic bread. The sales assistant said that she would let me use the healthy option garlic bread, and put it through at £5 for me - which was very kind, but won't work on jtd anyway because she manually reduced the price of every item so it added up to £5!! and to top it off, i came home and cooked the pizza, took it out of the oven and promptly dropped it straight on the floor - topping down!!!

Oh well,

Cuckoo. xx
