Thats a trench.....and a very poorly supported long drainage pipe.

They want us to drive electric cars use phone banking and then turning off the landline. Smart meters "for your convenience" Then tell us to prepare for electric outages, its almost like there is a plan.

Mum reluctantly got a 'smart' meter installed in her high rise apartment a year or so back, had no choice as old signal being switched off.

A few weeks back it stopped working.

We phoned Scottish Power. Now remember, they installed the blessed thing, albeit via a sub-contractor.

'Unfortunately your meter isn't being recognised on our system as a smart meter. Can you please take a photo of it, send it to <email address> and allow two weeks for this to permeate through our system. Please phone us again at that time and we'll advise if an engineer visit is required.'

A few days back they phoned. Essentially a call to say they are aware of the fault and will be in touch if an engineer visit is required.

As you can imagine, it's leaving my 80 odd year old mum perplexed.

You couldn't make this sh1t up. Is it any wonder folk lose it with these companies.
