Same.

Same school of thought.

Some dirt does you more good than harm.

Living in clinical isolation isn't wise.

Mithering (yourself to death), when there's little choice about something, could also be physically bad for our general health.

I will not risk my health by worrying too much, after having assesed the dangers of having new gas/electricity meters in my home. Especially as there is little, or no alternative from this happening.

Unless there is some credible evidence forthcoming, it probably won't be worth me spending much time fretting about it.

All these harmful things they keep coming out with.

That, and the world population rising all the time, at break neck speed.

I just can't fathom it.

"Chronic exposure to electric and magnetic fields
(EMF) may be hazardous to your health. The World
Health Organization (WHO) urges all member
countries to pass laws that would limit human
exposure to EMF. The WHO announcement resulted
from hundreds of studies published in credible
research journals throughout the world."


I know that total avoidance of EMF radiation is impossible.
Limitation of exposure is advisable.
That is why Smart Meters are bad news.
They, unlike some household appliances, are unecessary.
The meters we have are adequate for purpose.

Re: It's not so smart to have a 'smart meter'

When these new meters are rolled out, in accordance with E.U. regulations, I wonder what will happen to those customers who currently have pay as you go meters, and buy top-up cards?

I'm more inclined to believe information supplied by Which?, than the Prophetess of all things Doom and Gloom.

Are smart meters safe?

So far, there has been no medical evidence to suggest that smart meters are unsafe for people.
Smart meter roll out - Smart meters and energy monitors explained - Energy monitor reviews - Creating an energy saving home - Which? Energy

(It was next door, who flushed the bog. The evil Jewish financier's still in there.)

That's quite right Rindi why should we have to put up with all this crap from Brussels, maybe we could have a referendum on it

its distgusting that people who need to budget and pay upfront for their gas or electricity are charged almost twice as much as those who pay a bill.Not one of teh governments that have been in power has done a damn thing to stop the poor been blatantly ripped off.

Re: It's not so smart to have a 'smart meter'

16,000 SSE customers could be in line for a refund as energy supplier admits meters are faulty | This is Money

Sorry for bumping a old thread but, are suppliers guilty of (indirect) manslaughter or a similar criminal charge?
By that, I mean all those vunrable elderly folk who have died because they was to frightened to turn their heating on, which it now turns out they was being over charged (ripped off) for.

Where do you get the idea that anyone has died because they were frightened to use their heating because of these meters?
No mention of deaths caused directly or indirectly in the article you have linked to.
Perhaps it is just a little bit of 'over the top' speculation that has somehow crept into your thinking?

Re: It's not so smart to have a 'smart meter'

my brother has a device that shows how much electricity he is using im assuming its one of these smart meters

im going to make a point of taking a power drill each time i visit infact my phone could do with a charge so i may visit today

at least i will be able to see how much money im saving by using his electricity

mind you these devices are handy you can bill your kids and deduct from their pocket money what they use to charge laptops,tablets,phones and use on teh xbox
