Yep - you've guessed it - I'd managed to spear a gas supply some 3 feet under ground!!!
So after a few frantic phone calls and turning off anything electrical, I'd managed to get Transco round who managed to fix the bugger this evening!!!
They had to dig a bluddy great hole to get to the bugga, so I'll not be able to get a fence post anywhere near it now, but will need tons of concrete
This pipe was only a couple of inches across, so I had to be pretty unlucky to harpoon the blighter.
Thank god for Sky+ as I could record the BSB action and have just finished watching it. Oh and to those nice fellas at Transco - here's hoping they don't send me a big bill!!!!
