Our meter looks like it came out the ark, def. imperial, does anyone know
How accurate they are/stay?
Is it worth getting a new one?
Who would supply it?

Sorry, no more questions, T.I.A.

    There are plenty of imperial meters still around; unless you have a specific reason to doubt its accuracy then I wouldn't worry.

    They are automatically added to a list of meters to be exchanged at the point their 'shelf live' is due to end. You will typically get a letter saying 'we want to visit to exchange your meter on dd/mm.yy'.

    Bought my house in 1986, gas meter has been replaced once as a matter of routine, in 1998.
    Dificult to check. I believe you have to get your supplier to do it and they'll charge unless a fault is discovered.
