Should I be worried.

I have the day off as the houses in my road are having their gas supply pipes replaced. The company doing the work have dug up the path in front of each house and are running the new pipes through.

Anyway one of these guys is standing in his hole smoking a cig

My gas supply has already been cut and I assume it has been cut again somewhere outside but still its a worry

LOL. Tell him he's breaking the law. Isn't the hole his place of work?

Go tell him ‘a little less smoking and a little more digging will get the job done’

They did my road about a year ago, I had to call the emergency man out THREE TIMES cause of gas leaking from their holes. One time the hole had even filled completely with water and the gas was bubbling out like a geyser.

And they didnt replace the rusty horrible looking thing sticking into the side of my kitchen, just sleeved the inside of it. And no, they couldnt put the new meter on the outside in a box cause it might get damaged. And the old pipe couldnt??

Oh, and they were all shifty looking pikeys!

So all in all, a great experience.

at least he'll be the first to know if there is a gas leak.

Well im still here no big bangs yet although its getting dark and the gas has still not been connected. Going to start getting cold soon and I want to put my car away. they need access to the gas pipes in my garage so the cars out of the way so they dont rest tools etc on it.
