They will see about that. The gas and elecricity companies have been exerting pressure for outside meters for some time, and it looks like all new build is that way. But I somehow managed to get a new gas supply with the meter inside the house, and when a reader first came he was astonished that I had been able to do that these days.

Radio reception will be the perfect excuse for them to move all meters outside - ironic as the need for meter reading should decrease.
