Should I accept? What are the Pro's and Cons?
They add conditions to my contract, e.g. 1) Prepayment instead of
credit payment 2) I have to agree to let them "MANAGE" my gas and
elect supply. Call me old fashioned, but I don't like the sound of that.

Do you then have to stick with "BG" as supplier, or can you chop and
change?

A chum in California, who I occasionally Skype with, was having to stay
in a few weeks ago to let them fit his Smart meter. The thought it was a
good thing.

He seemed very keen on them being able to manage his supply as at
present it was random power cuts when everyone's air con fired up.

I think that's what we are having to prepare for here. Cold, still
winter's days and silent windmills.
