SMART METERS - NOTHING BUT AGGRO -

[donny]

Reading inbetween the lines.

The fitter fled for his life after being attacked by Joey and his mother in law.

It’s like UK version of the Bates Motel, with Joey as Norman and his mother in law up in the attic, in the rocking chair.

The fitter had trouble running fast cos the walking stick was stuck up his behind.Hope u get it sorted Joey

I cannot make out for the life of me what actually occurred here.

If I break just this first sentence up into parts:

• SEE send out an Electrician to put a Smart meter on a gas meter
  • Ok, following you so far.
• even after he refused to fit a smart meter on the gas
  • What? I thought you just said that's what he was there to do Joey.
• after fitting on the Electric meter
  • He put a smart meter on the Electric meter too? What happened to the gas meter???
• he threatened to cut the gas off
  • OK, that's simple enough.
• I got rid of him with the meter remaining on.
  • The gas meter or the electric meter? Or the smart meter on your electric meter that was supposed to go on your gas meter?

• Electrician got chased down the street with a cordless Dyson.

Isn't the whole point of smart meters rhat they dont need to be read? They send data via mobile networks to your energy provider.

All part of the onward march to do away with jobs. AI and in a decade people will be wondering round looking for things to do.

Don't use SSE or get white goods from Argos. Got it.

We never had this problem under Carlo

#BigtitezOUT!

This is a level of pettiness I can fully respect

In theory they don't but don't dare change to another provider (as you should do if you shop around and one is sinficantly cheaper).

If you change to a different supplier of gas and/or electric some models of smart meter stop working meaning they're in effect manual meters and should be read - something which is infinitely more difficult to accomplish when compared to the old replaced 'non smart' meters.

Tbf the newer models of smart meters are meant to have eradicated this problem but it still remains for a significant percentage of smart meters currently in use.

If you can possibly avoid having a smart meter installed then you should do so imo. The only problem is some cheaper deals with lower tariffs now insist on them.

This may be the Joeyest thread I have ever seen

I like my meters to be like my women.
Not very smart and in the dark.

Imagine the state of an emailed complaint from Joey, the man hours trying to decode that has probably crippled SSE financially.

He gave up in the end and passed it on to GHCQ in Cheltenham.

Apparently they now think that Russia is preparing to nuke the SSE head office in Aberdeen.
