Some of you may have seen this news item.

This block consists of top flats over groups of three town houses.
The house which blew up was unoccupied. Transco had been called because of
the smell of gas and had already been digging up the road looking for the
leak for 6 hours before the blast.


There was a bit on the local news this morning (I'm in Kent). Someone
was quoted as saying that they had actually turned off the gas, but
levels were not dropping - and they couldn't work out why.
