Well someone at Transco isn't.....

There is a HUGE gas leak outside on the pavement infront of our driveway....reported it several hours ago. Was told someone would come within an hour...still no sign. Must be in the pub.

Did 6 years of being on call 24/7

Called out twice on Christmas day one year...

trouble was we never got anything extra for it

It limits what you can do / where you can go

I may have to do that; still waiting, called them again and they said they were overstretched....Ahh so brilliant is the efficiency of our private sector.

The gas is seeping out the water stop **** access in the footpath....Anyone have any idea how to light it without burning off my eye brows? Should make for an interesting bonfire

The industry was privatised years ago leading to a reduction in quality of service delivery and safety and it was probably the likes of you that stood by and let it happen and now you are complaining

Congtratulations you have just woken from your coma.

You have got a long wait if your expecting Transco as they have not existed for a few years.

I was offered Xmas day and boxing day, but didn't take it as they refused my request for quad time.
