I've done meter readings for ages. If you don't mind doing it... It's only a couple of minutes then some suppliers give you a better tarrif. Plus it helps them more accurately predict your usage across the year and therefore even out your payments across the year without a nasty surprise of a sudden big bill to catch up
In theory the new smart meters send regular readings directly for you which is even better. My bug bear is that you need a different meter for each supplier so if you shop about each year its dumb. The government did promise they'd all be compatible but screwed that project up somehow.
