How do you know the electricity meter at your mooring has been calibrated properly, and that it even works properly?

"I work for one of the big six and smart meters are NOT READY!! The tech is not ready, its full of problems. The company is not ready, the IT systems are antiquated and cant cope. Customers are not ready, nobody wants them, we send out 2-3k letters at a time offering them, and literally "dozens" of people reply!! Many top managers agree the entire thing needs scrapping, but that's down to government!!"
"But they can tell when you are on holiday and your boat is empty!"
"Effectively another 'spy' in your house."
"They keep hassling me to have one fitted ' for my convenience ' and I keep telling them my old one is convenient enough. It is like we are, as fools, eagerly building our own ' Smart ' cages."
"What they've also forgotten to mention is that if you have a smart meter and change your energy supplier it probably wont work as virtually none of the meters are cross company compatible."
"You will change your mind when everyone has one. The free energy at the weekend will be stopped. The companies will then start to charge more at peak times all at the wave of a mouse."
