    Putting smart meters to one side, I just wonder if any supplier has a stock of analogue meters. Digital meters have been around for some years prior to smart.

    The last electro-mechanical meter I can think of was the Actaris Ace1000. I'd say it was more than a decade since any of those were installed.

    I'd wager that the Venn diagram for smart meter refuseniks and anti-vaxxers is near circular.

    If you don't want a smart meter I suspect the best that will happen is a supplier will fit one and just not enable the comms.
    As others have said analogue meter haven't been fitted for years.

    You'd lose big time.  Had my first jab a week before I received my invitation letter, had my second jab today.
