I give anyone who lives in Lancashire my sincere sympathies who still has no gas supply. Must be really awkward having no gas for central heating,cooking,etc. I hope that you have your gas supply re-connected soon. As I say this,you could well have your gas supply connected already.If not,I hope you have a Merry Christmas despite the setback.
I'd not heard about this til you posted this thread lol And I live in lancashire, i've been too busy at work since sunday to watch the news and noone in work has mentioned it.
Just popped on whilst fiddling with my new toy (Ipod nano).
It's my town, and the town next to me that's affected by the gas explosion which has taken out 10 thousand folks electricity. Some folk are having a real grim time of it without leccy, luckily my own supply was unnaffected, though I did lose electrcity for about 30 seconds when it happened.
