If you know or know of me, then please, please, please read and repost this.
My electricity bill has been between £30 and £40 each month, for the 18 months I’ve lived here. It’s a building with 48 flats for the over sixties, I live on the top of 3 floors.
I have to point out that, because of MS, and the broken NHS, I’ve been waiting for knee replacement surgery and have been bedbound since March 2021, and have been bedbound. It’s a normal fat with a fridge, freezer, ķand oven and microwave, nothing that could potentially use large amounts of electricity.
Now, we’ve all been constantly encouraged to have a “Smartmeter”, which according to the Einstein look-alike will help us, and reduce energy wastage and cost, so 11 days ago, on September 5th, an “Octopus” engineer fitted mine.
The electricity meters are not in any of the flats, they are are all together in one room on the ground floor.
On Saturday, Sept 7th, “Octopus ” sent me an email informing me that my monthly bill was £1,686 and was due to be paid on September 23rd.
Now, anyone with an ounce of common sense would realise that the Smartmeter was reading the usage for all 48 flats, and not just mine, think about it, you’d think that these people would notice that an increase of energy usage from the normal for one month up to the equivalent of energy used for almost FIVE YEARS!!! Would be obvious, but no, these morons didn’t.
