My next gas bill is going to be horrific. It's due for an actual meter read, they have been doing estimates for the last couple of months and the estimates are about half what I am actually using. I could update the reading myself, but I'd rather keep the money in my account earning interest. It is a bit annoying getting the bill every 28 days instead of when the meter is read and I'm guessing it catches a lot of people out who don't realise it is estimated.
