Apparently the meter readers all work for a private company which most if
not all the companies pay to do the work. There seem to be two teams, one
that circulates around and around and another targeted by appointment.
Unfortunately, often they do not communicate so you find one arrives just
after the appointment one has been making it a waste of time.

Prompted by another thread, I still have a traditional electromechanical
one with the spinning disk.

It has a sticker saying "Tested 8/88"

They should be recalibrated after 20 years.

Made by English Electric, which (according to Wikipedia) went defunct in
September 1968.

It has been seen regularly by Meter Readers.

Which probably doesn't mean much in these days of subbed out meter
reading. When I worked for an Electricity Board, the meter readers were
expected to check such things.
