Good morning folks. I've found out where my mojo went, it appears I have a minor case of the sniffles. 

I have no idea what that means.
I have been looking into it previously as I had the email off Npower last week informing me that my 2 year capped deal was coming to an end in March, however if I wanted to benefit from a similar capped deal I had to register interest and would have to have a smart meter fitted.
As you said the majority of smart meters about or being offered are 1st generation ones that only work for the current supplier. If you move to another supplier they no longer work, and for that to happen you need the more up to date 2nd generation smart meter.
Also I have read the uptake of smart meters is well below expectation.
Again as you say you cant be forced by companies to take one but it is quite obvious what their agenda is. If you don't agree they wont offer you the better deals.
That is the time to shop around. There are many great deals around from other companies that do not require you to get a smart meter.
IMHO smart meters are a con anyway. If you are doing all you can to reduce energy consumption through energy saving light bulbs, only boiling the amount of water in the kettle that you need etc etc, then by watching a smart meter telling you how much you are using is pointless. You are going to use the amount of energy that you require to live, even by being frugal there are only so many savings you can make.
So we oldies miss out againI've just read that apparently it's 'National Have Fun at Work Day' today.
Oh dear!![]()
Did you feel the earth move on that day, at that time?I have no idea what that means.
