I guess this is more of a cultural question, in this episode Mr.Bean is trying to get his new tv to wok, at the beginign when he first enters the apartment he deposits money tho what I believe is an electrical meteer allowing him to have ellectricity in his apartment, later on at the end of the episode his time runs out and the electricity cuts off again. So here is what I'm curious about, 1. is/was this something comon? 2.how much does/did it cost? and for how long? 3.would this be in a aparment or hotel? 4. well not really a question but if anyone could add more info about the subject I would really apreciate it, I'm just very curious person :) thanks.
