Yes, but that is only because people can read their own, but many of us are
unable to do this and basing it on estimations is very dangerous when a
reading is finally made.

No guarantee that any that is fitted yet will be portable between
suppliers, if not it may be re-configured to become portable, otherwise
it will get replaced again eventually.

It means she will know that anyone knocking on the door claiming to be a
meter reader will be a crook.

Except every couple of years when they *will* send a human to read one or
other of the meters anyway ...


Ofgem abolished in Feb 2016 the obligation to try to check meters every 2
