Prompted by another thread, I still have a traditional

It has a sticker saying "Tested 8/88"


They should be recalibrated after 20 years.


A few have extended periods - a very few up to 40 years.

But as they tend to slow down (under-read) with age I'd not rush to
complain.



Yes, I wasn't planning to complain. And I shall continue to resist smart
metering until I am sure SMETS2 is available and working properly.

I wonder how the missing of the smart meter target will be fudged.
That's if anyone even notices, with the political chaos that I fear we
are heading for.
