Back when you would get people knocking trying to get you to change Utility suppliers, they would need to get your Meter Number in order to get their Commission, hence they would ask to see your meter or a recent Bill so that they could "give you a quote"
I knew about this and would always refuse, and often got a bit of verbal from them.

These days I submit my readings online to my supplier and so rarely see a Meter Reader except when they call to do their infrequent check, and the person always has an ID badge and the hand held computer gadget.
