Dunno what the bill came to but I don't think they had to pay it all..
Must have been like that some three weeks or so!...

They were lucky; I used to belong to a tennis club and we had a leak in
the main supply after the meter which drained away without surfacing

(several hundred pounds in 1980's money, IIR).
