Just do what I do. Give an overestimated "customer reading" just before winter and pay the summer rates for your winter gas and electricity. A 10% increase on gas and electricity over the winter is ther loss.

For some unknown reason my readings are always accurate when the meter readers come round.

They send me a bill for the previous quarter, I pay it.

Are you paying them by Direct debit?

I think lower rates may in general (i.e. over a range of elec cpys) apply if you do DD rather than, as you do, pay in arrears quarterly. I just switched in this way and expect to end up paying less. However then you have to monitor the thing closely to ensure you they don't end up with a big chunk of your dosh because they didn't adjust their monthly take. Having just got a water meter I'll have the same problem with the water cpy and the sewage cpy.

Pounder? Watch out, he thinks he's the Über Troll.

And it's not even north FFS!

Its north of here mate.

In a foetid pit where people aren't shouting "sod off you unwashed layabout" at you?

Excellent news for the south.

I'm a Londoner... Been as far up as Saaremaa Estonia, an Ozzy coal mine, and Mongolia.

I get around. I might pop in for a cuppa if I'm passing your bridge ;-o

Excellent news for Yorkshire.

We already have enough pig ignorant wankers!

Well if you moved south there would be less.

I'd like move to Birmingham but the biggest pig ignorant wanker in the world lives there and I like to be the best. Sometime you have to accept defeat as there no way I could be as pig ignorant a you.

I didn't know geof lived in Brum. Its a good job I don't, I would hate to think I might see him.

Actually you do live very close to Brum.
