Our meters are outside on side of house. To work on/replace meter
sockets which tend to corrode after some 30+ years one finds out
approximately when, monthly, the meter is read; this would give
about a 20 day 'window of opportunity'!
Our supplier has offered a 'Read the meter yourself and phone it
in". Haven't tried it cos we are on a budget plan that averages
out monthly payments over the year.

My last meter reading, on an external meter, was done by me in response to a guy
phoning me and asking me to do it. Can't remember whether it was gas or elec.
