Dont get a smart meter. The amount of calls I get to properties with no gas is amazing. And 9/10 are down to the meter locking it's self. You are not legally entitled to have one. Just read your own meter and send the numbers once a month. Also the displays that they use to tell you how much electricity you are using, use electricity . So straight away you are using more than before. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If it's on it's using power. If it's off it's not. How flipping smart am I ?????? 😄

Thanks all. I had a lovely day messing about on the water tender/kayaks etc. beer and good food!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That answers all I need to know, not having smart meter . Cheers all.

This is the theory that when people see what they're using, they'll turn it off. So, no toast, no oven cooked dinners, no hot drinks. How many people turn these things on when they don't actually need what they produce? Terry.

When is someone going to point out to the MMO that the area that is most popular for anchoring currently, has the most amount of sea grass (per their survey), and the area of ‘historic’ sea grass (e.g. none there now…) is the least popular of the anchoring spots (the bit in the yellow & red dots)….

JV was too distracted with the beach and swimming. I did catch a bass trolling from the tender, sadly not flat enough! R

Eon kept pestering my mother to have a smart meter and no amount of correspondence saying she wasn't having one would dissuade them from continuing to push to fit a smart meter. I found the best method was to send in meter readings once a month I just used to photograph her gas and electricity meter readings for record and log in to the on line account and type in the readings. Much simpler and YOU have a record . Smart meters are hairy (google them)and very unreliable .The display units are a farce and everything depends on network communications so risk of lots of lost comms etc. Also it doesn't help you the consumer only the supplier. So if yours doesn't work and you don't get billed for say 6 months even when you have notified them that you haven't received a bill that month and then an enormous bill comes through the post it comes as quite a shock. My daughters smart meter for her gas supply has never worked due to communication difficulties,but after 5 years of no gas bills after they fitted a smart meter they did a manual meter reading and expected her to pay a whacking great bill. Eventually a major portion of this was written off due to their incompetance. I have had one one fitted for a good number of years Lots of visits from Engineers to attempt to get it working long term. It was fitted in a moment of weakness silly me.🙄 I take the odd readings now and again to ensure I am not being exploited😄
