When I was little my Mum used to tell me to turn the TV off if I wasn't watching it, or turn the lights out if I wasn't using them because I wasting power and I always used to say to her "But how do THEY know I'm wasting power?". I thought you only got charged for electricity if you were actually wasting it, and so I wondered how they knew if I was wasting it or not, how did they know if I was actually watching the teley or not?Very confusing!
