Actually diybanter would be an ideal site to troll, as most of them wouldn't know what a troll was. Many of the vomit forums /vomit I've read seem to have their fair share of them. As to the original question, presumably to move a gas meter you'd need to disconnect the incoming supply pipe to the meter, which as a DIY'er you'd have means of readily closing it off. Which could prove interesting, for the neighbours as well, even for non-smokers. michael adams


When we had ours moved they shut off the gas supply by clamping the plastic pipe flat!



Did that to the big new main they laid down the street here a few years
ago. I suppose it must be designed for such stress.

As to the original post, I still smell Troll. If anyone wanted to rattle
the cage here, diybanter would be the perfect place to post anonymously
and the sit back.
