They sent me a bill for £1300 in February, having transposed a 5 and a 6 in, naturally, the worst place possible. Once they'd recalculated, they owed me £40 but I'm sufficiently sure that they'd not have batted a single reptilian eyelid if I'd just paid that I've been keeping one of my own, human eyes closely upon them ever since.

Eon, meanwhile, have noticed my electricity direct debit was set too high, have recalculated and dropped it by a tenner a month, and given me a refund :-)

Would that be a commercial account, or am I misinterpreting that your bill was actually 1260 pounds for a month's usage?. As an ordinary residential customer in the U.S., my monthly electricity bill is on the order of $30 per month (with the gas, and water, bills being, respectively, somewhere around 4 to 5 times that much, depending on the season.

This was a charge for a quarter's gas usage. In a notional average quarter, I'd expect to pay in the region of £180 - winter usage is obviously higher, but the charges average out over the year.
