   Mine just has a blinking LED which seems to blink every so many joules.  And   
   an LCD display which says how much I've used - it's what you use to "read the   
   meter", which I do myself to get a discount.  I think the only reason I have   
   this modern one is a    
   while back I changed to a dual tarriff, cheaper at evenings and weekends,   
   which I no longer use as it's no longer the cheapest, so the meter just   
   charges the same for both times.  That dual tarriff required a more complex   
   meter than just a spinning disk    
   with one readout.
