Was working on my new split load CU, had pulled out suppliers fuse having
broken the seal. Knock knock, meter reader at he door! Panic set in as I
hid
all signs of the seal and opened the door. Chappie comments on how busy I
looked, casually read the meter and was on his way!



I think most meter readings are done by an independent invoicing companies
now'a'days and not by anyone who understands electrical installations. They
would, more than likely, only look for signs of physical damage to the meter
itself.
