A friend of mine asked the local electricity company to install a "white
meter", Economy 7 type thing to power his night storage heaters.
The company said that it is not their policy to install such meters anymore,
and that it is all done by computer.......!! This answer intrigued me, any
idea what the chap was talking about?

Sounds to me like you got a complete ****** on the call centre.

Try again and see what they say. I`m in the industry, and although i`m
not on the metering side, I do order replacement meters for shift
electricians to fit.
