Good morning, big thunderstorms last night, very loud and bright to the extent I've been awake since 3.00am! Still got loads done. Mrs P officially becomes a pensioner today!! Yeah! We need the cash.
Small person has gone swimming with Mrs P, it's raining hard and I'm online having a row with British Gas about our monthly bill. It's something of a tradition as I've had to contact them every month for the last 9 months to resolve a problem of some sort. This month BG failed to send a bill. The online chat guy says this is because my smart meters are dumb!!!! I've told him I send a meter reading every month because I know the meters are dumb!!!! He's gone away to check! After I've finished this chat I'm heading off for a snooze.
As it happens an engineer is due this afternoon to check our smart meters. I await the outcome of this with interest!

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.

I have no intention of letting them install one. They stopped sending me emails about them, then suddenly they sent another email to me last week about booking an engineer to install one . I pressed delete very fastly.

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

Bit political so post may get bombed (fair enough) but 2 jets required to take 2 individuals on 1100 mile round trips to see Her Maj for a cup of tea and a chat.
Wrong on a number of levels. Grrr!

Yep....I thought exactly the same.
