What a waste of money and opportunity. If they had joined forces with, for example, a smart thermostat manufacturer, they could have provided a package that would have actually saved customers money. We had a new gas boiler all efficient and "eco friendly", whatever "that's" worth for a gas boiler, with a truly woeful UI. All manual time settings and tiny display. Made the thing unusable except for the boost button which turned the heating for the boiler on to full max for minimum 1 hour. When the room would be like a sauna. Then the house would cool down over the next hour and the boost button would be pushed again. Rinse and repeat. We got a smart thermostat and from, an average of 4 boosts, i.e 4 hours and half the time freezing between boosts we currently average 1.25 hours with the smart thermostat and are never cold or too hot. The smart thermostat controls the boiler turning it on for a small duration, usually about 5 mins to keep the room temperature at my presets, before turning it off again. Everything can be controlled easily from an app. If the government had rolled smart thermostats out instead of dumb smart meters, we would probably be close to their original net zero targets and people would be using and paying for a lot less fuel be that gas, electricity or renewables

Oh. You want employees paid on time *and* every month? Might be a bit of scope creep going on there. Charge 'em double!!
My biggest beef is that every year (twice!) we go through Daylight Saving. One hour forward, one hour back. Here in Ireland, we go back an hour in October and forward an hour in March. Why March? If we go back one hour one month after the autumn (fall for our American cousins) equinox, why do we have to wait until one week after the Spring equinox before we get that hour back? By my reckoning we could have put the clocks forward last Sunda. Meaning we could be having daylight until 7pm and beyond from now on
