  Thank you. I went quite light headed laughing about your statement.

  I presume the physical device just isn’t capable (like an old phone)

  The SIM doesn’t provide the 3G/4G/5G ability, it just enables it, so swapping the SIM wouldn’t help… unless another provider was holding back the upgrade for longer…?

  Because the physical location is not suitable - a 60s house with the distribution units (and old Eco7 termination for night-storage heaters) are right next to the current meter.

  Oh, and it’s in the kitchen, underneath the bathroom… right underneath the bath!

  The UK 3G network switch-off: what you need to know

  Timescales vary by provider, but yep.

  I’m still happy with my un-smart meter (which would require an entire house rewire to make a smart meter useful - so much for “free”)

  Oh wow… you’ve just picked 2 of my favourite artists & albums. 🙂

  Considering that a LOT of gas in the UK came here by boat from the middle east, then, yes, this is actually a good thing.

  Don’t get me wrong, we need to get to NetZero, but the plastic parts on your electric car are made from oil…

  As long as the car can determine that the driver’s eyes are open because they’re paying attention to the road, not watching a film on their phone, perched on the dash…
