Not a car roof, but tonight I passed a man eating a takeaway in his car in a quiet residential street. What he didn't appear to see was the fox a few feet away on the opposite side of the road, lying in the shadow of a parked car, staring intently at his half-open window... I stood watching for a few minutes but it didn't move until some more people came down the street talking loudly. Think the guy had a close call there.
It's a FOX, Sue. Maitre Corbeau, sur un arbre perch?, tenait dans son bec un fromage. Maitre Renard, par l'odeur allech?, lui teint ? peu pr?s ce langage. You can guess the rest. Half a chance and it would have been in through the car window and out again with a string of sausages between its jaws.

    • Exactly that.  From all their communications at the time I just assumed it was something that was going to be done anyway so I just went along with it.  As per Froggy’s suggestion above I just went out to have a look at the readings (for the first time ever!) and it said 000078,231.  That’s for just short of three years.  I’ve no idea how that would translate to an actual bill though.  
    • Thanks both! Unfortunately my mobile doesn't support a charging mat. I will try the place by the station, which is more convenient for me than Forest Hill Road  I'm avoiding Rye Lane as my daughter had a very bad experience at one of the shops there (I think it was a battery replacement and the "new"  battery failed almost immediately. Unfortunately she doesn't live in London and couldn't take it back) and there are so many I don't know which may be ok.
    • No, unlike power meters they can force one on you, whether you want one or not. They did on me, and it's on the stopcock in the pavement outside my house. They can also force you to accept metered charges. 
    • They said you didn’t have a meter even though you did? Utterly bizarre.   I also thought that the water company wasn’t allowed to fit a meter unless you asked for one.
