A man spent the weekend worrying over a "bill that doesn't exist" after his energy meter showed a daily usage of over £42,000.
Mike Ellis, of Seaforth, decided to check his energy usage for the day as the start of the month marked an increase in energy prices. But he got the shock of his life when he checked his meter and saw he had used over £42,000 of electricity in just one day.
With his daily usage usually around £1.70, seeing it read £42,541.10, he was understandably concerned. He told the ECHO: "I don't usually look at the meter but with the new month and bills rising I wanted to see what the new daily cost would be.
