I've found E.on very good.

Me too.

They listen if I point out the regular payment is too high. And every
April they review the year and give me the correct refund.

I think they automatically review DD amount half way through the year.

Whether they have improved their system from days gone past of wildly
varying amounts and building up credit balances, or whether it's the
lack of estimated readings since smart-meters, who knows?

I've got a leccy job that needs doing

I wonder if Adam will drive to/from my house and only charge me NMW for
the time actually spent in the house

He doesn’t get his pizzas at your place.

I might get free pizza at Tim's.

However 10 minutes of work for a £12 takeaway and a travel time of only 1

If it was a work job then they would have paid £20 plus vat and had to pay a

In many organisations there is someone that steals data, most often credit card data. If a company has this awayness data, it's tempting for an employee to earn money selling it in bulk to local organised crime. There's means, motive and in some cases opportunity - and we know that leads to crime in some cases. It's ultra-easy.
