Yes I think they are attempting to get shot of the old ones in some places

customer units will be standard in the summer, its now summer the year after
and they now say new year. The makers of this kit need a size 12 boot up the
rear, and I'm sure most energy companies might agree with me candidly. Does
not stop them wanting to get rid of their crap though.

Why not offer to host the meters for a monthly rental of £25 each :-)

A friend of my father's used to charge rental for a telegraph pole in
his garden whenever there was a Labour government and stop charging
when there was a Tory government. (This was when the telephone
network was in public ownership.)

Did he get paid?

Yes, I'm sure he did.
