    Definitely legit, meter readers come at least once a year even if you have smart meters
    Last time someone looked at our meters was 2015 !!

    Is this a competition  :)    My entry... until this year when smart meters were fitted, I'd not had any meter inspections since the previous meters were installed.   My database goes back to 2008 and no changes in that time; memory suggests the previous meters were installed c2000.   So, no meter readers in at least 12 years, perhaps 20 years.

    What do they look like ?

    Blakey from On the Buses (for our more mature readers!!)    :D
  • Ha! It's because I can't remember seeing one within 15 years that I freaked out about it. Sadly he wasn't even as smartly dressed as that....lol :D Black cap and some sort of branded polo shirt, with lanyard.... and a very insistent attitude. Probably because he didn't get many takers to let him see them - meters I mean!
