UNLESS,
and this does make me a lair, (I never claimed not to be one!)
its the old style braided tails, and yes I have cut the meter seal and replaced them, rang DNO, explained to the (usually) lady on the phone and no probs.
but otherwise just to fit a new C/u or Earth Ive not cut seals,
for earth Ive left the tail hanging and informed DNO of my action and got customer to sign the form to say action has been accepted by them.
(cant remember the form name, sorry)
obviously Ive left existing earth connected also.
I think in this country its a much to a much once you get to know the set up with DNO if they find it acceptable or not to cut seals,
just a warning to any1 thinking of looking further afield, CHECK first.
