How else could a meter be changed, even by the official people?

Just put a light to the gas and flare it off.

Some flare, this is the high pressure side of the regulator, it won't be
like setting fire to an open pipe down stream of the regulator/meter.
B-)


Gas lads were here for other work when we made a hole in the yellow pipe
close to the surface. He got a piece of mud and made a temporary seal to
the hole. Pressure, what pressure?

Not allot generally - although some of the big gas mains are
pressurised these days - allows them to be used for storage as well as
supply.

Huh!

You try getting their solicitors to admit that when they are negotiating
a wayleave for a 48" main.
