I remember years ago, they used to put a notice beside the meter, in red letters...Removing these seals could incur a £15.00 fine. They don't do that anymore?

btw, economy 7 means 7 quid added to bill every quarter...might be 70 quid now. It took me while to work out the maths. But it was a con, because the tariff during the day was higher than the standard price. I needed to be very power hungry at night to be viable, something like 8kw continuous from midnight to 7am, I was doing about 4kw in winter, hardly nothing in summer.
It is a con, unless very power hungry at night. Check the small print

There can't be too many cut outs with original seals intact! I'm agreeing with steve here, I don't mess about with cut outs. Being ex electricity board also helps. Big roll of paper seals. I also carry a set of those new wire seals too.

a safe means of isolation must be provided..except for the leccy boards. I need to get electricuted and then use one of them no win no fee type people..and let a judge decide, just show him the regs book...hey presto several thousands (depending on my trauma, I don't like football/sex/food anymore...in that order -

You don't need to get electrocuted, you just don't do the job. The law's quite clear on that. If you can't isolate, you can't do it, and no court in the land will support your argument.
