Ever have that "Walk away from the house and realize you've left a
light on"
feeling?

Ever think "Shall I go back and turn it off? Is it worth it?"

Try leaving your office at Wembley Stadium, spend 20 minutes walking to
your
car and then notice that you've accidentally left the arch or bowl lights
turned on (from about a mile away)...

Do you go back to turn 'em off? ;-)
