:hello: Morning we had thunder last night and rain now, not going out any where so it won't matter
I quite like my smart meter, it's something to look at like a mini TV, but on pay-as-you-view :rolleyes:

It’s now cheaper to have the full SKY package with films, sport Netflix etc than have an electric meter 😂😂😂😀😀

Barnet,
I think I'll resist a smart meter as long as possible, if not for ever! They seem to cause more problems than they solve. I'm quite happy to spend a few seconds reading my meter and popping the readings on SSE's website.

Same here. I send the meter readings to Bulb every month. No smart meters here.
Part of the selling point of smart meters are that you can see how much you are using at any time. Well, I have LED lights in every room, I only boil the kettle with the water needed for one or two mugs of tea. My Induction hob is AAA+ rated. Everything is switched off when not being used, so unless I am going to start going without because the meter says
"It's costing you this much" there isn't much more I can do.

So....my phone clearly shows no rain until afternoon.
I have just been to the post office. Can somebody tell me why it piddled down and soaked me :wacko:

Same here, rain forecast for teatime, pushing my good lady down to the Cosy Cafe for lunch and its spitting with rain, we ended up sitting in the cafe until the shower had gone over but still got damp going home and we never got to the pound shop as planned.:wacko:

It's not the meters which do work but everything around them, in my case communication.

Anyway BG have been. Two sensible, intelligent engineers. Long story short they couldn't do anything because the job had been booked as an "exchange." However the meters are accurately working reading and the engineers are only allowed to replace meters which aren't working!!!! :wacko:

There's a shortage of microchips apparently. Everything these days is a shortage of microchips..............

Homemade, triple cooked in truffle oil and served with a good steak. No problem. Microchips? Sorry sir there's a huge shortage of microchips.

Small potatoes is the solution :laugh:

I’m considering another walk and hoping I don’t get soaked. It’s far too warm and muggy for a jacket.

Careful, I got a post on the energy bill thread deleted for being loosely political! Soon not be worth posting in here :sad:

Yes, it's a shame. My little group of pedalling pensioners is four in number. We have some brilliant political discussions as we wander round the Lancashire lanes. Three Labour voters, one Tory and we've never once fallen out despite our deeply held differing convictions.

My politics are probably pretty obvious but I try hard to leave all that behind in here. Have you been in NACA recently?

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.

Don't be stupid. :laugh:
