if we avoided using appliances at night wouldn't that scupper the idea behind those daft smart meters? SWMBO often puts the dishwasher on when we go to bed. Smart meters are not a cheap way of using power but a means of monitoring the amount used in terms of KW or pence per hour (they are switchable) Phil not having one, I'll take your word for it, but if the government's campaign to get us all using them suggests to me that there will eventually be variable tariffs so we pay more at peak times - a bit like train tickets. It would make sense.

Isn't it a move towards electrical energy being used for everything including electric cars which will enable computers to track exactly how much energy people are using, when they are using it and for what purpose. And switch it off at any time. Total control of individuals energy security.
To save the planet.
Big brother gone mad.

Not sure how you figure out that the Government would be able to know how much power is being used for what. All the meters do is record how much is used, gas or electric, NOT what it is used for. For me it saves having to phone in meter readings. It also allows me to see what I have used and make comparisons with previous weeks or months. Not sure if it's compulsory to have one but I like mine. Phil

Though you may be eligible for MI6 exemption.

Though you may be eligible for MI6 exemption. Just to clarify this. Yes I am eligible for exemption due to my status obviously but I still disagree with the mass populace being manipulated in this way. It's wrong. In fact it is outrageous. An outrage.

Well, it would be if it were true! One of my daughters has just posted some old guff about microwave radiation from smart meters. She used her phone to post it. (don't worry, it's not genetic, step daughter.)

What's a Vauxhall Cross? Is it some sort of interior Christian belief system decoration for a hail-a-ride taxi to help customers talk to the driver ?
An insignia, if you like.
