    Knocked on my door this morning, And he asked to check my smart meter, Even though I don’t have one, I also didn’t have an appointment with him neither.

    Sounds like the plot for a low quality British porno.

    @Big Ern
    You didn’t tell us your mate is Matths mam!
    Don’t let em in mate. It’s a trap. They’ll take your PlayStation and wallpaper borders.

    I doubt it, I think it was a scammer to be honest.

    Probably saw your damp walls and thought better of robbing you. Nobody likes a respiratory infection.

    You wouldn't have an appointment for someone to read your meter, for a gas meter safety check you would do. You don't need to read smart meters, that's the whole point of one.

    I didn't know you needed ID to be a porn star. What did it look like?

    First thing, ask for ID!

    Hopefully he won't go on to turn over some elderly person down the road. You are such a twat at times.

    I am glad someone pointed that out, because I was about to say the same thing. <laugh>

    The whole point of a smart meter is so you can keep track of your energy consumption without someone needing to come read your meter and decipher it for you. <doh>

    Either he was a scammer, or you got the wrong end of the stick meth

    You shouldn't have to ask for it. They're all trained to wear it and present it as part of their opening schtick now.
    I had some charity twat at my door earlier and even they do it now.
