General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Mine is no longer sending out readings but I should count myself lucky it's not worse. Occasionally it flashes up readings showing 5-6 times the actual usage but it disappears when I toggle through the options, which does make me nervous.

Are you talking about the meter (the box where the power comes into the house), or the wireless display?

The meter only counts units of electricity. It doesn't tot-up the price of them. The display calculates a price, but it's only meant to be a guide for you. The real price is all calculated by the supplier when they generate your bill. So if you're seeing weird prices on the display, don't worry. Only the kWh numbers matter.

That is a bit worrying for sure!

Touch wood mine has been OK!
