    Update:-

    Leccy men back. They abandoned the site at around 5.30 after capping off the gas main which they had cut into!!!!

    Only six vans here now and all their digging equipment. :rolleyespink:

        Good day all
        We only cooled down to 78f overnight and although it is cloudy, we're in for another scorcher. I have wage earning work that will keep me busy inside for a good part of the day so I shall be fairly comfortable in between nipping out to water my green and feathered friends.

        @shiney I am glad to hear Mrs. S is on the road to recovery.

        Have a safe and super day everyone :)

          'nother leccy update:-

          Not good! :sad: After having the gas board in to repair where they broke the gas main :mute: they've decided that the problem is not where they thought it was.

          They've now got to put the road back and then they'll start digging outside our place as they now think it may be there :doh: So they'll, then, cut us off. :mad:

          The problem will then be what to do. :scratch: Their detector has said where it thinks the fault is and they've marked out the place with paint. So I pointed out to them that is exactly where the water board has marked the road for fixing their leak. :hate-shocked:

          Thinks :ideaIPB:, do water and electricity mix? :th scifD36: :nonofinger:

          This has now been going on for 29 hours and they're no further forward than they were at the start. :wallbanging:

            :think2:

            :ideaIPB: Fill up lots of flasks with hot water, before you get cut off, to keep them topped up in tea? :thumbsup:

            Actually, I think that is where the *real* problem lies ... you are taking better care of them than they get at home!

            :shhhh: padlock the biscuit tin :shhhh: ;)

                  They've gone!! :hate-shocked: Leaving a big hole in the road and a set of traffic lights that I've moved to a better position. I suppose they've knocked off for the weekend. :wallbanging: Everyone has their electric working at the moment. :fingers crossed:

                          I'm working on getting a hand held control for the lights so that I can switch them when I want to drive out or in to our house. :thumbsup: :heehee:

                            Only a few fish around last night, but enough for lunch.

                            Saw a brilliant shooting star :)

                            Have a good day everyone :)
