Neil - It was my birthday Saturday (not my 49th!) and I had a gas emergency at home.  I had to wait in all day whilst they decommissioned the supply; then another set of blokes arrived a few hours later to find the fault and do the work; then I had to wait a max of 4 hours whilst they came and recommissioned.  Not only did I miss the day, but I was going to miss my party too :-(.  Anyway, they pulled out all the stops and got it sorted with 1/4 hour to spare.  I got home from work yesterday to find a birthday card in the post from Mr Transco with his telephone number in it asking for a date!  Ha!!  Made me laugh.  So, there you have it.  It'll all work out ok in the end Neil.  Have a nice rest of the day and happy birthday.
