The pizzeria boss discovered she had also been paying for an adjacent hotel - adding nearly £42,000 extra to her bills over seven years. She said: 'My electricity bill went up gradually - it went to £250 then £300 and so on. After having an electricity meter built into her restaurant, Ms Rodrigues discovered that she should be paying between £400 and £500 a month.
