Every country has its charming games and customs, and this week in Britain we invented a whole new one.
On Thursday all of us spent the day desperately reading gas and electric meters, photographing them from seven angles and spent two hours trying to send the numbers to a crashed website, while we screamed and family members muttered “take six deep breaths and try again” because the next day the price was going up by two million per cent.
Thanks to this sense of fun from companies such as EDF and E.On, from now on we can play this jolly game every year.
