Well done ST, You know, if one person, just one person does it they may think that that person is weird
But if two people, two people do it, in harmony,
they may think they are troublemakers,
And if three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people refusing to have meters installed singing a bar of We shall Overcome.
They may think it's an organisation. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day, I said fifty people a day walking in singing a bar of We shall Overcome and refusing to have their meters fitted they may thinks it's a movement. Yes that's it, the STARAMM The Silver Tabby AND Rehab anti- meter movement.

Germany has rejected 'Smart' Meters, citing a "lack of savings" for customers. In the UK, 'Smart' Meters are being publicised promoted as "putting consumers in control of energy".

If that were true, UK consumers would be given an inexpensive energy monitor - available for just £15 - to assess their own energy/appliance use. Instead, 'Smart' Meters are designed to transmit private data to energy companies and allow them to remotely disconnect supplies and perform "Active Demand Management" - where appliances can be controlled by the energy company (Ofgem 2014). These facts are not being explained to the public.

3. They do NOT reduce energy/utility consumption

Only consumers can save energy - when they chose to change their behaviour. If saving measures are not taken, Smart Meters will actually lead to higher bills to pay for the total programme cost of £12bn - representing a cost to each home and small business of at least £400. Energy bills shot up in December 2013 - as energy companies looked to maximise profits.

A one year study by Toronto Hydro showed that 84% of people's bills went UP after 'Smart; Meters had been installed - often by more 50%+. There is no guarantee of any savings from 'Smart' Meters. Instead, Ofgem's recent 'Smartgrid Routemap' promotes the introduction of lucrative "Time of Use" tariffs which will require people to take significant steps to avoid being penalised for using appliances at busy times.

There is already a campaign running and a petition to stop smart meters being rolled out...

Signed. Thank you.

We could always agree to let the man come and do the job, then kidnap him. You imagine the effect of that 'en masse.' A huge percentage of the company's workforce would disappear, never to be seen again.
The firms would be terrified of sending any more of their employees out.
No more Smart Meters would be fitted.

For those who only had room for a short stay meter man, they could just hold him to ransome instead of keeping him indefinitely.
Either way, no more Smart meters would be installed.

What d'yer think?

Would depend entirely on how fit the 'meter man' was, Mups.
The one that kanded on my doorstep the other day was the sort of spotty nerd you would pay the recycling people to remove !

If you sign, how can you be sure it is not just a way of getting your personal info to keep pestering you, or to sell on even?
It said somewhere about payments? Can't find it again now though.

You sure it's safe to sign? It does worry me who I give personal details to.

Rehab or JBR - Where are you? Have you nodded off?
