My British gas smart meter display unit won't stop beeping. It's a

If it's the in-home display beeping, either power it off/on, or move it
to be closer to the electricity meter.

If it's the actual gas meter beeping, they have a battery that should
last 10 years (not user replaceable).

Other than that, call British Gas ...


You might get a visit from that annoying penguin...


So, not some weird tie-in with Linux then? The key clue word here being
"annoying" rather than "friendly". :-)

Apropos of "annoying", I'm guessing it must be some irritating TV advert
that "The Product" endure whilst awaiting their favourite "advert bait"
programme to start (or resume - it's all the same thing really, what with
it being just a 'legitimate' way to avoid 'dead air' in the gaps between
advert breaks).
