A screenshot of a new energy bill which predicted a yearly spend of almost £21,500 has gone viral after the recipient asked if he was paying for "the whole of f***ing Bolton".
The bill, posted by Twitter account @FplAndSte, showed a first monthly payment of £1,954 that would be taken by energy supplier British Gas on April 1, with ten regular monthly payments of the same amount due to be taken on the first of each month. That equates to £21,494 paid across 11 months.
Several other people had jumped into the comments with equally ridiculous bills, including user @Rob_ladnet who shared a screenshot of a bill he had in January, which put his monthly payments to British Gas at £7,024.28, and @amyy0506 who joked she was paying for South Yorkshire after receiving a direct debit bill from Eon for £5,361.57 a month.
