General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in [email protected] or [email protected]
More serious politics should go in [email protected].

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

The UK 3G network switch-off: what you need to know

Timescales vary by provider, but yep.

I'm still happy with my un-smart meter (which would require an entire house rewire to make a smart meter useful - so much for "free")

Why would you need to rewire the house to allow a smart meter to automatically update usage to the provider?

Because the physical location is not suitable - a 60s house with the distribution units (and old Eco7 termination for night-storage heaters) are right next to the current meter.

Oh, and it's in the kitchen, underneath the bathroom... right underneath the bath!

It might require a few smart plugs. Not a whole rewire
