It's not so smart to have a 'smart meter'

In addition, Re smart meters, (to carry on my scaremongering ), 'I hear' they can be hacked (by burglars etc) to see if your at home

dont tell me they have webcams lol

yeah i know they are probbably saying if your consumption on the meter shows nothing is been used then your not at home but if a burgular wants to take the chance someone is actually working nights and wants to wake up a guy built like a brick crap house then go for it lol and unless the dog has taken up online gaming while its owner is out they could get bit as well

If they looked at our consumption when no one was home they would assume we had a house full. I think the house has a leccy leak somewhere

Yep, according to our latest expert on all things conspiracy, you/we not only have a leak but an absolute tsunami of electrons dashing around causing harm even when we are out.

But as he says safety first eh? Let's err' on the side of caution and condemn everything without even the slightest whiff of proof.

Right, that's my smartmeter by-passed,
free electric for Christmas!

Many years ago when I was a young lad I witnessed one of those little boxes that make your meter go backwards. I can't remember where it was now, possibly one of those flats at Avenham Preston in the late 80's. As it was connected the disc slowed down then started spinning backwards faster than it was forward. The more load the faster it wound back.

No before anyone asks I have never lived in a flat in Preston.

I'm not claiming to be a expert but,I can't see our local drug addicts/burgulars having the skills needed to hack smart meters when it would probably be easier just knocking on the door to see if anyone is home (just thought I'd throw it in the mix ).

when it comes to crime with technology in most instances teh smart people make the app that the simpletons click or press on their phones or tablets etc to commit the crime.

its a bit like the ps3 situation where as a very clever person broke the protection on the playstation but millions of people including the most simple brained merely pressed a button to hack their playstation.

i sleep odd hours so when awake at 3am one morning i heard someone trying the back patio door handle.He was clumbersome and probbably not too skilled which left me enough time to go to the loo / cup and provide him with a refreshing shower from the upstairs window.Im assuming he knew i was home after that

edit:

and that takes us back to health hazzards i guess

Of course your no expert, you are a stirrer, jump to conclusions spread inexperience over the site then try to back peddle when you come to your form of senses.
Less walks away muttering, is the fool, REALLY worth answering maybe I should put it on ignore?

Accyexplorer takes a moment whilst sitting on the platform of foolishness waiting for Less's train of incredible intelligence and amazing vocabulary.

Somehow, I get the feeling I've said this before, 'what a creep', if I haven't then enjoy the sensation, because it is a meaningful statement.
