Missus again decides to do stuff without consulting me.
She gone and got the gas man to stick a meter thing on now the kids have grown up and fooked off.
Between 9 and 5 today I've been told.
Nearly 3 and no gas man.

Wait until they're cross-supplier compatible. Even then, they're more for their benefit than ours.
Has he been yet?
Yeah smart meterQuote:

I've had something similar for quite a while now - it's called a gas bill.

if you change supplier, like we're always being told we should, it becomes a piece of junk.
they can be hacked by bad people who want to blow up your house.
A programme on TV about them last week was pretty damning.
They are free to the user but every customer in the UK will be charged an extra £350 to cover the the 12 billion it is costing to roll out this scheme.
They will save the gas & electricity companies 8 billion a year which will not be passed on to the customer.
If you are already sensible in your gas & electricity usage there is no point in them as the only way you can save money in that situation is to sit in the dark or cold.
The programme showed that the average customer could save £1 a week IF they watched the displays readouts carefully & identify something that is running that is not needed & turn it off.
They are definitely not for the customers benefit, why would they be ?
Why would a company making money from you using it"s product want you to use less ?
Here he is mate.
