So it flashes faster when more power is being take (afaik).
But there's not much on it now - and the led is continiously on. Does
that mean it's flashing so fast I can't see it (!) - or maybe is in
some other mode?

That usually means there's nothing being used. I think it's to show
it's still operating.

Hmmm, who pays for the electricity consumed by the flashing (or long
time lit) LED?

Is that connected before the metering circuit, or after?

If all these flashing LED's in the country were disconnected, could we
save a power station from being built?

If by power station you mean B+Q wind turbine, possibly.

Which reminds me (veeeerrry tangentially) (and this is one for
Redingensians only) I notice that after they'd put up their toy windmill
Green Park put up a couple of pylons with their name lit up in green
lights. Now what do folks reckon: does the genny provide enough power to
run the lights? :-)

Just to return to the O.Thread for a 'mo - the led on this thing is on
continuously when the kettle is on. So that's far from not using any
elec.

Just had to get my gas reducer valve replaced, as the boiler
engineer measured 35 mBar. Whilst they were at it they replaced
my nice compact electronic gas meter with a refurbished
mechanical one, as the batteries are all due to fail soon, and
they want to get rid of them before they stop reading. Things
have apparently got complicated with the separation of supply and
distribution.
