Cooking on the gas hob last night, suddenly the flames began to
flicker yellow.

First thought: dirt on the bottom of the pans - so I turned on the
other burners and they were doing the same.

Second thought: low oxygen (panic!) but even though I felt no personal
effects and the house is old and draughty as hell, I opened the back
door and continued cooking with the open air blowing into the kitchen.
It carried on like that for another few minutes and then it went away
leaving only normal, blue flames.

Everything is AOK normal this morning and it's never happened before
so is it reasonable to presume there was some contaminant in the pipe?
If so, could it have damaged my combi? Next combi service is due in
about nine months.

Low gas pressure would do that.

Possibly a short term massive leak on the local supply down the street -
anyone working down a hole in the road nearby?

I'll have a wander round later and take a look.

Thanks,

Nick
