Thanks for everyone's input, I have learned a lot since starting this thread. The bottom line is once the SMETS1 meter has been registered with the DCC, its a smart meter forever. I emailed all the suppliers and they misread what I had wrote thinking I was wanting the smart meter to work as one. 

Its interesting that when a person does not want smart meters, they are met with hostility as if they wear tin foil hats and such but in this world is about choice and it seems if you want the Elec / Gas supplied - you have to have the meter. 

I had already done all the things such as set my readings to monthly, provide the meter reading online about once a week which then shows me a bill. Of course the other option is a Pay as you go meter but im not sure I want to go down that path. Of course as I pay on receipt of Bill - i pay an extra 8%, that is madness. 

 ... the ludicrous claims that are made about SM’s - ie that they emit radiation,

@EssexHebridean How do you think the WAN sends the meter readings if it doesn't emit electromagnetic radiation?  That doesn't make it dangerous, but it's not a ludicrous claim, it's a basic fact.

It seems that everyone else understood my meaning - but for clarity for anyone who didn’t, I will state for the record that I was referring to perceived “harmful levels of radiation”. If anyone is concerned about devices emitting radiation then it’s time to get rid of your microwave, and indeed, I hope you’re not reading this on a mobile device, connected via WiFi…
