No, it's not...it's volts divided by amps, Jean-Luc.

I was reading up on smart meters co-incidentally before this thread started and I'm not convinced by them at all so far.  Mind you I'm pretty frugal with energy but I understand now why when I was a kid my Father used to scream at me for leaving everything on, all the windows open and radiators on full. Smart meters cost to run, everything I've seen is they push up the unit cost for everyone to account for the charges -I remember seeing maybe 2 countries refused the mandatory roll-out so far over concerns of costs and privacy.  I'm already paying allot for my energy because of my location despite having so many hydro schemes and wind farms around Inverness -I'll be darned if I'm paying a penny more when the equivalent tarriff in the central belt is 15-20% cheaper.  If they become mandatory then good luck getting a mobile signal at my house and in no way will I let them connect to my broadband unless they pay for the connection.

  wow what a crazy 2 hours that was.
First a Virgin hot air balloon surveyed the village and then landed just down  the road on  the football pitches.
Next a SSE van went back and forwards along the road util Ann managed to wave hard enough at the driver and he backed into our driveway
Only 1 driver/operator but within minutes a clipboard carrying overseer apeared out of the blue and set about supervising any and everything.
Took exactly 2 hours to instal, setup explain everything to us all.
Nice slick job done and I think we are satisfied although they will have to come back because the ditnt set up the water meter thingie
