Only if a leakage is confirmed. I have a good nose, regularly spot leaks
outside and report them. Most recently I smelled a leak from our local
pressure regulator station.

while on holiday in a rented flat in Rothesay in the 50's my mother went
looking for a town gas leak with a match and found it with a nice wee flame
spouting from a pipe........


If it were anything like some of the holiday lets I experienced in those
days - or even the post war prefab my parents were housed in after my
dad came out of the army - there was very little chance of gas build up
thanks to the howling gales which forced their way through all the cracks.
