we used to have a static caravan in the lakes which used to have an old style electricity meter
when we went up there at weekends, i used to loosen the pin screw underneath meaning the wheel didn't spin and the numbers didn't turn
couple that with swapping our half empty gas bottles for freshly changed ones off the site-owned caravans meant that our utility bill for the year rarely exceeded £60
