Smart Meters

[jesmond]

ive heard that not all smart meters are compatible if you change energy suppliers, so is it just a case of asking a potential supplier if the one I have is ok to be with them if I switch

"My brother was an electrician he wired up our house to the street lights outside ! A lot cheaper than a meter !"

They do that a lot in India, Eddie. On one of our trips to Kerala we used a beach restaurant a few times. It was a lovely place, dim lighting, overlooking the Indian Ocean. There was a gift shop next door. At 10pm the shop turned out all its lights and closed and at the same time the lights in the restaurant doubled in brightness. When we looked during the day we saw a thick-ish cable strung from the nearest lamp post (a tidy step away) which served both the shop and the restaurant! Regulations be damned !!!
