Practicality. A home needs a meter. Production of old meters will cease, like it or lump it.
Which is an entirely different proposition to "what's not to like about a smart meter", is it not?

No it won't.If a meter needs replacing it will be replaced with a smart meter.
What happens if you have a smart meter and just unplug it, will your power go off?
Yes.Which is an entirely different proposition to "what's not to like about a smart meter", is it not?
Betcha it will.No it won't.
You mean the additional gadget thingy? No, that's just a gimmick. I don't even know where ours is, since I started knocking our kitchen about during my op convalescence.I mean the meter that measures your usage.

So if your meter goes down and you need a new one at night, they will fit and set up a smart meter ?Betcha it will.
Probably wait till morning to do it. Metering isn't particularly urgent Leaking gas is though.So if your meter goes down and you need a new one at night, they will fit and set up a smart meter ?
I'm not using the 'smart meters are better' argument. I'm a fan because meter reading for me was a pain. I'm also perplexed as to why having automatic transmission of meter readings can possibly be a problem or an incumbrance to anyone.So, it makes no difference whether SMs are better than dumb meters, or not.
Therefore, using the argument that they are better is irrelevant. The die is cast.

How will the meter stop the gas flowing?Unless you are vulnerable and cant do without gas.
Some meters will shut off if the battery dies.How will the meter stop the gas flowing?
What battery? I've never seen one in the old analogue meters? Or in my smart meter for that matter.Some meters will shut off if the battery dies.

They're inside it so you won't see it. Apart from E6 meters the old analogue ones didn't need a battery as they have no LCD display, this is for gas meters, electric I'm not sure of, but seeing as they are wired into the mains, they probably don't need a battery.What battery?
