Shocking Electricity Bills

Woman receives massive 'electric shock' and survives

Mrs Alison Turner from Cambridge, England opened her electricity bill and received an enormous shock. Her bill demanded a payment of £90,454,217 [$175,000,000 USD]

Mrs Turner was stunned when she opened the bill from her electricity suppliers Npower, particularly since she pays as you go by using a meter. 'I shouldn't even be getting any bills from them because I pay in advance,' she instructed reporters.

Will and Guy have worked out that to have a bill that large, Npower's 13p per unit tariff, then Alison would have to consume 700 million units to rack up a £90 million bill, which, even if she operated a domestic electric blast furnace consuming 1000 units per day, would take almost 2,000 years. Alison, 50, commented, 'I know electricity bills have gone up recently, but this is ridiculous. I was shocked to say the least.'

We are pleased to pass on to our readers that Npower have since cancelled the bill.

Freddy the Cat Almost Gets the Shock of His Life

Will and Guy have discovered that poor Freddy spent almost 24 hours trapped on 25 foot high power lines in Amesbury, Wiltshire, England.  He was seen, hanging on and using up one of his nine lives, straddling the earth wire with the rest of him inches from the live wires which undoubtedly would have electrocuted him had he touched them.

Southern Electric Engineers, the RSPCA [Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals] and the Fire Service rescued Freddy and sent him scuttling home with a note attached to his collar.  Just how Freddy did not suffer a fatal electric shock is a mystery know only to St Gertrude the patron saint of cats.

Freddy's owner agrees that he is a scamp and suggests that it won't be long before his gets up to more mischief.  Guy thinks that the picture above right shows the sinister menace of an impending shock.
