Re: Reluctantly may have to get a smart meter.

For once, the americans did it right.

They have standardised meter sockets. Change supplier ? Take out old meter, plug in new one. No longer paying ? Supplier removes meter, power goes off.

Sure, it's not foolproof, but it makes our meter scheme look, if not an outright lie, pretty stupid.
