Fella from Octopus Energy turned up to fit a smart electric meter. When I answered the door he said "I'm Octopus Man, here to do your meter". I've been watching him as carefully as I can without seeming weird and have not seen any sign of octopus-based superpowers yet.

Incredible. Unbelievable. Thank you ❤️
