When I rented a house in 1992 it had a card electric meter, it was very clever as it deducted the standing charge as well as electricity used cost, when we went on hols with only the fridge left on it'd gone down by a few quid, but the readout had only gone down a few KW's. (about 60 odd pence) Pay by direct debit now as the card meter drove me mad, reminded me of the shilling & 50 pence electric & gas meters when I was a kid..
