What are the downsides to Smart Meters?

Forget the lights and TV, your tumble drier will be the biggest power consumer after heating and hot water.

but the tumble drier will not be on for hours at a time.

My biggest electricity consumer in a year is my Sky box (45watts), 394kWh a year, my tumble drier (just over 1kW) uses 6 kWh a week.

I will never have one fitted in my home! I would rather be disconnected from the energy than be exposed to them.

The radiation they put out is harmful to the human body and I will not be exposed to it. Mobile phones have already been shown to be harmful and smart meters use a similar technology. Many people walk around with mobiles stuck to their ears without a thought about what they are doing. For such people smart meters are probably not much of an added risk but I do not use mobile phones so will not accept the added risk.

Besides it being a total utter c!!k up from the start.

Sorry but somebody has to say it. Get a life.
Presumably you also subscribe to every other conspiracy theory as well.
