I was listening to the late show on BBC in the south the other night and a bloke rang up and said his smart meter had actually cut all his energy off displaying that there was no credit on his account or something. However the energy company who fitted it, he was not allowed to name it on air, said that they had him as having paid up to date. They were coming out in the morning to replace it as it must be faulty. In the mean time of course he freezes.
So much for technology.
I'm glad I still have my old fashioned one.
