I came across this news article on BBC news. Basically it says that energy bills are difficult for people to understand and should therefore be made easier to read.
I'd argue that its a problem with education rather than billing if anything rather than changing the bills the consumers should be better educated. If the concept of calorific value is too difficult for people to understand its a problem with education, not the bills. Even the most simple 'Joe public' will have grasped the concept that the more gas they use the more they pay (possibly even that the two are directly proportional). Why then is it such a bad thing to show how a number on a meter is translated to a price.
If utility bills are simplified then interesting information may be removed from them.

Speed Humps
Concerned that driving over the numerous speed humps round Edinburgh and the negative effect that they may be havving on my car I decided to investigate what regulations govern speed humps.

Basicaly if they are over 10cm tall then they are illegal and you can probably sue the council for damage caused by them.
