In credit with your energy bills.

Smart meters are part of the wider big brother society. Why would anyone think smart meters are foisted on you because its more convenient to you? The energy companies will easily switch you off at the click of a mouse when energy consumption is high.

Banks are closing at a pace because the vast majority are now using cards to pay for goods instead of cash. Would a cashless society be for your convenience? The Government will dress it up as such but I fear a total loss of personal freedom will be gone when a digitised currency finally arrives. And smart meters and apps and self serving tills at supermarkets are all setting us up for this to take place.

Good grief Phil

It's called moving on and accepting a certain level of monitoring for a product that we use. And quite frankly, if I were supplying a product that is as volatile in price as it is now, I wouldn't be comfortable in just guessing how much my customers were using!!

No one said it was soley convenient for us for the energy companies to use smart meters. It is convenient for THEM because they don't have to employ a fleet of grey boring twonks to come and knock our doors and search for a dusty cupboard with our meter in, and to remove their shoes and/or wear bl00dy shoe protectors into the bargain!

Anyhow, up the baggies! 😃
