day 1 -Gas energency -This could take some time . A gas leak discoverd 0900hrs 2nd march , good old transco turned up within an hour , then the digging team as pictured who put in a solid hour or so work , found the pipe and cut and capped it off to make us the safest house in the road , " no gas"
" someone will be back around 0930 tomorrow to reconnect ", sadly still awaited 1340 hrs - 3 rd march .
day 2 -No one returned , phoned at 1.30 pm and around 3pm another gang roled up , i nstalled the new pipe, and left around 4.30pm .
Now 8.30 pm still waiting for the man to refix the meter , and turn the supply back on .
Guess thats it for another day
