Default OT - Smart meters and EDF Energy

Tuesday.
I was called from a Manchester number by the usual Asian phone jockey.
To my surprise it was a genuine call.
My Smart meter had stopped sending data (allegedly) and an engineer needed
to call to reset the meter. 15 minute job including power off/on.
Tomorrow 1-5 OK?
Fine.

Wednesday morning.
Phone call from Manchester.
Due to unforeseen circumstances engineer can't call.
Reschedule?
Tomorrow 1-5 OK?
Fine.

Thursday morning.
{Just guess}

I declined a third appointment.

Had I been working and taking time off I would be incandescent.
Being retired I was just severely ****ed off.

So presumably they will have to estimate my usage based on previous
records.

I suspect that they will assume that I have used loads of energy until I
prove otherwise.

Another Smart meter Brucey bonus.

When I have the energy (see what I did there?) I will look at my account
on line and see if I can submit a meter reading.

No doubt this is saving both me and the energy provider a significant
amount of money to justify the cost of installing the meter.

Grumble.
