After going through the fiasco of Swalec charging me 10x more through the meter reading by adding an extra decimal to my gas usage I have found out thatthe person or persons reading meters in our areas should have a comprehensive educational refresher course in meter reading.

A few days ago I received my gas bill – the last meter reading was based on an actual reading of the meter. To those who don’t clearly understand this is that a person, hopefully from Swalec, came to my meter and read the numbers of the meter. Cool. But I went and checked the meter anyway and to my surprise saw that the meter reading on the bill was 504 and the numbers on the meter show 495 (495.14 to be precise).

Dear Swalec, how is it possible that the actual meter reading is higher than the one I obviously took after your man/woman read it. Did I turn into a energy supplier and pushed some gas back into the system?? I am sure there is not much natural gas available under Haverfordwest despite all the lngs we have in the area.
