Can someone please confirm what is the meter read on this pic?

Thanks.

This is from npower website if it helps at all:

If the pointer is between two figures, always read the number the pointer has passed
If the pointer is directly on a number look at the next dial to determine whether the number has just been passed. A higher number indicates that it has not been passed

Do think I'll get a job meter reading then!

I have been fighting with the power company online for the past couple of hours because I sent them this photo I took of my meter and they keep insisting it is 7902. They keep charging estimated charges for the past year.

Ask them what reading would be if the second dial went round a half turn to No 4 and the first dial went forward a half (which it would) to between the 7 & 8.

It would read 7402. Which is 500 less than they are saying it is reading now.
