Reporting smelling gas gets you instantly cut off & your install
condemned, regardless of the cause.
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........
Contrary to popular belief, searching for a gas leak with a lighted
match is probably fairly sensible; as long as the whole house didn't
blow up when you first lit the match, anyway.
but nobody was happy when she did that
That was the year I got a dirty big skelf in my bare foot from the wooden
Woolworths floors ....remember those? .....
We Sassenachs have things called "shoes".
