Maybe so for the average house, but it is still guess work! Most people have worked 9-5 for donkey's years, put a brew on in between Corrie etc!! It's not rocket science is it!

Depends on your definition of 'guesswork'. It's scientific load signature identification done with algorithms so I suppose you could call it scientific guesswork.

Scientific Guesswork! That'll do! As I said lol, GUESSWORK

Seen a few smart meters, think it's got a SIM card in! There was a signal bar display on the front. It didn't do much when I ripped the seals of it and jammed a large screwdriver to pull the tails out....

Lol, that's going to be another issue entirely. Cut the seal on a smart meter and it will probably start telling tales to it's mom and dad. If they're gsm or RF networked you'll probably have fast response meter seal police to contend with who'll have evidence of what time you cut the seal and which pair of sidecutters you used. Should be good for a laugh, I can see some of the serial seal snippers (try saying that 10 times quickly after a few beers) getting caught red handed.

Well while they have the power isolated in said property they should be fitting a isolator so they don't need cutting.

I wonder if they have profiles for MIG, TIG, plasma cutters and Stick welders also compressors and grinders various.

Can't say why I'm asking..

If they rely on mobile technology, they need to think again judging by the network around my patch. Awful doesn't come close and I'm in the sold called "rich green belt"

They have a Sim in them ( Vodafone ) ... I have a gas & Elec one in the new house:-0

BG are the next bank charge/payday lending type carry-on,in my opinion...Massive ad campaign,together with nationwide carpet-bombing of " dangerous electrics" and "Non-viable continued boiler repairs..." targeting the age group that traditionally assumed BG were top-draw...if they are going to put anything in MY meter,it better be a card with "sorry" wrote on it...
