WE have just received a bill from Yorkshire Water telling us that our bill was decided by Automated Meter Reading.

They tell us that they are able to do this without the need to enter our property. They do this by reading the radio signal from the meter by standing in the vicinity.

The million dollar question is: how long will it be before some jobsworth from the government can stand outside our property to find out how well bushed we are at the bank without having to knock on the door and rudely ask?
