Bit obvious when they come and read ... oh smart meter no need to
physically read it so they won't be sending a meter reader round as
that is expensive.

Currently isn't there a statutory requirement on the suppliers to
physically read the meter at least every six months? Wonder if that
will change if you have a smart meter and if it does how long before
they "voluntarily" start "reading" smart meters so they can spot such
obvious thefts...
