    ..:eek:What are the side effects of smart meters?
    Smart Meter Health Effects
    Headaches.
    Insomnia.
    Fatigue.
    Tinnitus.
    Heart arrhythmia/palpitations.
    Decreased immune function.
    Irritability.

    Most of my RE posts (rants) carry the exact same health warning, but I'm immune thanks to my tin foil codpiece.
    Mart. Cardiff. 8.72 kWp PV systems (2.12 SSW 4.6 ESE & 2.0 WNW). 20kWh battery storage. Two A2A units for cleaner heating. Two BEV's for cleaner driving.

    Hi all,
    The radiation myth has arisen because they use short bursts of radio waves to allow readings to be taken remotely from gas and electricity meters. Some people fear that the radiation they emit is a health risk, but PHE say they are safe. They exceed every EU and UK safety standard. Smart meters have a very small power output and they transmit radio waves infrequently. In fact, most of the time there's no transmission. Exposure to radio waves from smart meters is well within guideline levels, and is many times lower than the exposure from Wi-Fi and mobile phones.
    That's a relief, tell me though; why do people text while crossing a busy road??? :rotfl::rotfl: Be more conducive to have Smart if it meant the end to the SC Con. for meters..coffee.gif

    Very up and down day like a very steep Rollercoaster.

    3.38 O's

    Mrs Brush was taken out today with a well timed shot to the head which produced an instant kill. I followed up with a few more to make sure life was extinguished.

    Back up the ladder to remove all traces of the Drey. Will be checking once a month to make sure no new squatters move in under the panels.
