gas pressure

Lindsay · 25th October 2005, 08:19 PM

lol, our area has had their gas switched off because of a problem with the gas pressure.

my mum always likes a good oppurtunity to whinge adn she is saying "blah blah they're not allowed to switch it off for that long blah blah". stupid woman wants blown up obviously. she even said it to my dad who has worked for british gas for 37 years.

i'm hungry though. i woke up at half 8 when they switched it off and i'd been asleep since 5. bugger.

shantae · 26th October 2005, 10:08 AM

Lindsay · 26th October 2005, 10:18 AM

ignore him lindsay, he doesnt know his satire from his attire

hope your gas gets put back on soon, we had our water cut off for maintenance a wee while back only for a day and it was a nightmare : /

i can cope without hot water for a couple of days, and i have a microwave and a toastie maker. but my mum apparently needs a hot bath every night or she might die. grr. she was whinging this morning because she says she wants compensation and put up in a hotel for any further nights its off. ha!

completely out of water would be harsh though. all the bottled stuff would get bought up fast too!

Aw that sucks. Do you rely on your gas for hot water and stuff or just for cooking?

Nikki S · 26th October 2005, 10:32 AM

Dear Householder,

Loss of Gas Supply -- Claddens Area, Lenzie

Gas supplies in your area have been affected today to 480 properties. As a
result, you may have noticed a drop in your gass pressure or your supply may
have been interrupted. This is because water has entered the gas system.

Engineers working for Scotland Gas Networks are now working to remove the
water as quickly as possible. However, we must ensure all the water has been
removed from the mains system before we can begin to restore gas supplies to
individual properties.

Until then, for safety reasons, we have to turn off your gas supply at the
meter. Once all the water has been removed and it is safe to reconnect your
supply, engineers will call at your home to carry out further checks.

At this time, it is difficult for us to estimate how long this work will
take. Unfortunately, at present, we anticipate the gas not being restored
before 7pm this evening, however we will keep you informed of the progress
and I would like to thank you for your patience.

It is very important that you do not try to use gas while my engineers are
dealing with this emergency.

If you are elderly, disabled, chronically sick or have young children or
other special needs, we have portable electric appliances available on site
for cooking and heating. These can be obtained by calling 0141 418 4211 or
contacting our staff on site.

Finally, for security reasons, you should always ask to see the
identification card of anyone calling at your home. All our engineers carry
a laminated identity card bearing the name of Scotland Gas Networks. If you
are in any doubt, please seek assistance from a neighbour or relative, or
telephone 0800 0155170.

If you know of any neighbours who may require special help, please let us
know as soon as possible. We sincerely regret the inconvenience this may
have caused you or your family, and I would like to reassure you that we are
working hard to resolve the problem.

Yours faithfully

John Lobban
Director of Operations.

my sister typed that in earlier, when i was at work, bless her.

no showers for me! anyway, what are you saying, you skank!
