    I'm getting meter tomorrow. Problem solved. I will still post the image of the old meter if my user status gets promoted.

    The ability to post links is restricted for new users.

    The restriction is automatically lifted once you have met prescribed criteria

    The exact criteria is kept strictly confidential (:rotfl:) but I think I'm not giving away any secrets by confirming a member for 6 years with almost 3000 posts to their name is no longer restricted.

    (The ability to host images, files, etc on the MSE server is not permitted, except for MSE staff. You have to host the material elsewhere and post a link to it. If you use the necessary tools/coding, you can get images to display in the thread even though they are hosted elsewhere)

    Hi,

    yes, but ignore the red, only used in meter testing.
    I remember as a kid filling in the meter reading cards that the electricity board leave when you are not in and that had space for the red number. It's tenths of a kwh. Obviously now you only give to the whole KWH on readings.

    I just started with Scottish Power and my meter is of the old fashioned dial type. I am not allowed to post links as a new user so I will post the photo of the meter once I am allowed.
    scottishpower have put a video on youtube for you :rotfl:
