Interesting to read that we seem to have adopted similar methods of dealing with marketing and other such phone calls. my phone rarely rings these days, though over the last few days I have received at least 3 calls per day from three different London numbers 10 calls in total, and ignored them all, as I suspect any person or agency of any kind will either text or write as I would expect they will have alternative contact details..? A text finally arrived and apparently it was from LOVE ENERGY SAVINGS ... I suspect "they" may be a marketing arm of the gas/electricity distribution network trying to convince the population to change over on to "smart" meters....?

OK, OK so it may seem I am beginning to be suffering a degree of conspiracy theorist overload, I do wonder if "they" are pushing ever harder to have everyone on Smart meters...? One of my relatives who`s bills over Summer/Winter have been much the same for years, was told that they must have a new meter installed as the old one was due for calibration, and as the old style meter which they had had been superseded by smart meter, then that is what would be fitted in it`s place.... Whadaya fink..?
