Out of the blue, Mrs DT just asked me if I have a smart meter.
For years, she’s done her meter reading by phoning an automated system where she just types the number in on her keypad, but Eon have apparently disabled it and the last two months she’s been put through to a call centre person, who has relentlessly badgered her about having to have a smart meter even though she has pointed out that there is no mobile signal.
She eventually cracked and made an appointment, which I’ve suggested she cancel. I’ve also made sure she is very clear that if an engineer does turn up then she can just say “No, I don’t want one.”
Next time Mr DT’s nephew visits, she’s going to get him to show her how to do the meter reading online (“If my mum can do it then you can”), so they can’t harass her as easily.
This shit makes me so furious.
