Eon just called and replace my meter with an Ampy 5246C.
Just in passing, the chap mentioned that it runs on GMT for Economy 7, so
will switch at 0700 when we change the clocks. Means that stuff that I do
before 0800 now will be on the higher rate.

The old meter was switched by radio signal and ususally switched at 0803
all year round.
Typical that modern technology can't do what the old stuff did - well, it
could but... It could have been switched via mains, I'd have thought.

BTW, searching for Ampy 5246C gives no useful hits at all; I wanted to
confirm the settings. Did find that it's rated for 20 year life so it might
still be here after Smart Meters come out.

Chap also started to replace the fuse - I assumed that it was in case the
old one had got tired, but he was putting in an 80A instead of the 100A. He
told me that it was due to the board feeding the storage heaters having
16mm tails, so I pointed out that it was 3-way so could take about 42A max
and he left the 100A in.
