Funny you should both say that, but I remember when I moved into a flat I bought in London and phoned up to switch the bill to my name, they immediately disputed the reading and said it must be incorrect. The reason, only 4 units of electricity had been used in the last 4 months (nobody was living there). When I explained the property had been vacant they accepted it was probably correct.

So London Electricity could see these things and ask are you sure, must depend on the billing system.
