I had the same certificate issue yesterday, my browser ask do I want to continue ? Which of course I did.

@ Not mickey, certificate is fine,valid till January. Just one of those things that happen occasionally.

Yesterday my browsers were both saying it wasn’t secure and that there was an issue with the certificate. Couldn’t even get in to see the postcodes. Thankfully looks like it’s behaving today

Will take a look.

No problem here, using Samsung A9+ tablet and Chrome browser. Try a cache clear/hard refresh.

Was going to give the article from the FAQ about hard refresh but coincidentally they are showing an error (414) at the moment.... OK now.

As far as I know they can only compel you to have a smart meter if you take out a tariff that requires one as part of the agreement. Even then, if you wanted to change back after a time (not sure if one year or two) you have the right.

I had my previous supplier call/email/text at least twice a day for around 2 weeks telling me I had to have a smart meter fitted 'by law'. I finally gave in and answered one of the calls (I had previously not answered) and threatened to sue them for harassment-customer advisor noted it on my a/c and low & behold no more communications from them!

ANN: I have that type of electric meter. I don't worry about it. It must have reached the max reading several times and started at zero again. In the past 13 years I have had 8 different suppliers and none of them have ever bothered sending anyone to do a meter reading. They probably look at a map and decide its not worth the cost of sending anyone out. Good job I am honest and do my own reading every month. I doubt a smart meter would work here as unreliable mobile signals, not yet connected to fibre broadband and still have copper landline phone. The Joys of country living.

Ha-ha, Nick, we're the same as you! We've avoided having a smart meter like the plague and they seem to have given up hassling us now. :-D

My electric meter was in the house before I bought it about 23 years ago. Years ago I got loads of letters saying they would fit a smart meter, then later said my existing meter wasn't safe and could be giving false readings. I ignored everything and they gave up, eventually. I'm now so concerned as it must be so much more dangerous after all these years. It's the old type with the spinning disc inside. I do hope it doesn't kill me before I sell up.

Ypur energy supplier will contact you when your smart meter is due for renewal and you should always check by going direct to their website. I had new smart meters installed by Octopus this year (whole process went smoothly). My old meters were SMETS1 (the kind they couldn't connect to at first then there was a software update so they could work as smart meters). Before they worked as smart meters I had loads of problems with high bills caused by wrong readings and changing suppliers, but had no problems once they became smart. They were over 10 years old and were on an angle at the bottom of a cupboard so it was a no brainer to have the new SMETS2 meters installed before the Winter. However, when the old electric meter was taken out, a manual reading was taken (which was wrong). I keep a close eye on my bills so pointed this out to Octopus and they fixed it straight away, Everything working fine now. I think Uswitch just help you switch energy suppliers, they wouldn't offer meters. These scams are getting out of control.

Quote ... 'The "Uswitch reconnect smart meter" message or call is a phishing scam designed to steal your bank details and personal information. Fraudsters frequently impersonate the Uswitch comparison service, energy suppliers, or the regulator Ofgem to trick households into clicking fraudulent links or handing over financial details'

Sounds like a scam / phishing email. Can you see who / where it has come from? Hope you haven't clicked on any links within, just in case.

Nothing since this morning. Perhaps the whistle worked. I know officially I’m not allowed to cause him injury (yep, really! Just like a burglar can sue if he injures himself). Nothing back from the police yet.

Would they trap the big beautiful ones that Grumpy grandad's wife has.

He's probably using a PAYG phone, but you can block it. Might be worth recording what he's saying if he speaks again.

Maybe not on his own phone or he wouldn't be wasting the credit, he could have stolen or found it.

Carbon Monoxide alarms are loud & piercing enough, but not much good if neighbours can't hear it & come to help..

You could rig booby traps all over your house like in the film Home Alone.

Thank goodness for the dogs barking. He now knows you have more than one so might think twice about visiting if he finds where you live. Can you get a rape alarm ready for the next call? I understand they are quite piercing.

He came back again this morning. I pushed the dogs away (we were on the bed) and just kept blowing my whistle full bore and only stopped to breathe for over a minute. The dogs went berserk, Indi worried stiff about me, boys just being hooligans and they all joined in with barking, jumping all over me and each other. After 1 min. 15 secs he rang off, then rang back again (presumably when his ears had recovered). I decided to go online to Hampshire police and report it as a non-urgent crime, mainly because if they can trace and stop him, even if just as a warning, it will put him on their books. According to the true crime psychologists, serious sex offenders start by minor things like this, because they think they are safe on a phone, then go to Peeping Toms then to actual contact crimes. I’d hate to think I said nothing and someone was assaulted in a few years time by him.

Many years ago I answered the phone to a young "lady". She said we had met at a party and had been invited to another, I had given her my number so she was wondering if she could stay overnight with me. I replied it was OK with me but I was married. Her response was she would be prepared for 3 in a bed. My response was that it was OK with me but I don't think my wife would be very happy.

I thought this was a joke at first. This is disturbing when you live on your own., Beth. Try contacting your mobile phone provider for advice and if he calls again contact the police. I hope they are not using AI now to generate these calls.

Did you hear the one about the flasher that described himself to a blind woman?

Years ago my wife got a call, he said he had seen her shopping and she had beautiful big boobs, her reply, it's obvious you have seen me, and my advice, go get your eyes tested before it sends you completely blind, she put phone down, made me smile.

Yes, it was my mobile, and I think he was either recording or on speaker (probably with others listening?) because it was very echo-y. I did wonder how he got my number but assumed they just random dialled any number.

Beth, was this call via your landline or your mobile? I'd be a little more concerned/curious if it was the latter. Take care.

damn, it is a long time since I had a dirty phone call, really fun turning the table

Someone, somewhere finds all of us to be wonderful &\or gorgeous Beth. You're not unique except your "admirer chose to make contact. If you'd given him your email address he'd have sent you a body shot.

Well at least he said some nice things about you.😊 Can’t say we’ve ever had a naughty phone call but then the answering machine probably puts them off.

😊

I did say something at one stage along the lines of ‘get a life - you’re obviously too inadequate to get a girlfriend’. A very sad character who has to do that.

That was very rude of you. Last time I'm calling you.
