But will ask again what has any of that got to do your thoughts on remote switching

Remote switching is a brilliant idea. However, the protocols that lead to any cut-off are EXACTLY THE SAME FOR BOTH TYPES.

And that is crux of it for those mukking forons that believe little men dwell inside smart meters.

Unfortunately, Manchester is on my bucket list of places never to visit.

You poor dear. You don't klnmoiw what you are missing. Our gain, I think

 

[noseall]

yet again your talking shyte the discussions have already taken place about in the case of the grid going down who will be turned off first to preserve supplies to essential industries and services being cut off and interrupting supplies are two completely different things

WTF are you waffling about now?

Smart meters are great.

If they can be switched off remotely, so be it.

You are no more likely to be cut off as a bad bill payer whether you have a SM or analogue. End of.

The rest of gassys waffle is just thread fluff.

bit early to be on the sauce you really do need to leave off it old yin

'People with smart meters are protected by exactly the same strict regulations that protect anyone with a traditional meter relating to an energy supplier switching off or disconnecting their gas or electricity supplies. 'Your energy supplier cannot disconnect you without first assessing your situation and how a disconnection might affect you.

Exactly the same protocols, boyo. Smart meters are nothing to be frightened of.

Mukking forons.

Yet again you do not understand what is involved in actually turning people off remotely and having to physically visit every single house to do so .
Scenario town of 10,000 gas users in danger of losing its supplies which can result in very dangerous explosive situations and if the town does go off every single house has to be visited twice with roads dug up to disconnect those they cannot get into ,
5,000 smart meter users that can be remotely disconnected with the vulnerable already on the register so they are known about and can be left on or turned back on afterwards if they have been missed.
5,000 dumb meter users that have to be PHYSICALLY visited to turn them off with all the man power involved .
So lets think who they will be turning off first to save the dangerous situation occurring and all the additional man power and services required to feed and provide heaters etc to .
By turning off the 5000 it can make it possible to keep half the town on or essential services such as hospitals etc and if the whole town still needs turned off it is far more manageable to visit 5000 house and not 10,000
And yes towns and districts of cities lose their gas supplies for various reasons several times a year.
Safety protocols override any link you can put up

You've moved on to H&S reasons which may be perfectly reasonable. People would understand that.

You can also apply that principle simply to a shortage.
If they need to switch off half of the population, which one would they choose?
Smart meter using a simple click or dumb meters visiting them in person?

No you can't. There are more smart meters than non-smart, not a chance of that happening.

Straight off, looks like I would struggle with the lingo.

Friend moved there last year at the insistence of the wife - who is originally from Manchester. He now seems to spend more time back in Bristol than when he lived here. Complains that the main shopping area in Manc is full of dope smoking, petty criminal mutants. He's not exactly mad-ferret.

Another stupid statement....

Which is the more acceptable - Turning the power off to an entire area, including vulnerable people in the switch off, or a selective process, where smart meters can be switched off, but leaving the vulnerable people on supply?

 

[noseall]

Yet again you do not understand what is involved in actually turning people off

Nor do I need to. All I know is the processes leading to being cut off are exactly the same for both meters, boyo.

All the rest of you diatribe is waffle.

and what do you mean by that ? that they wont turn of smart meters first

 

[denso13]

and what do you mean by that ?

I mean there are far too many people on smart meters just to disconnect people as they see fit.

still doesnt make any sense what is your reasoning behind your thought train

Do you really think if gas supplies became tight they would shut of more than 50% of houses and businesses? Or any of them?
