  1. Are you enlightened and all knowing? Seriously doubt it and am rather certain this knowing revered to as "just knows" comes out of the blindness and incapacity to see truth or reality when the undeveloped consciousness of the soul makes serious important decisions again. Without any knowledge at all or true insight based on real knowing through proper investigation.
  2. How do you know? Have you scientifically researched this? If you just live in one city you are not capable of knowing or seeing what other cities are really like. It looks like you are just some uneducated idiot who puts his thumb up.
  3. I wondered that as well. Assume that since the water pipe was fixed in one day. The gas taken a lot longer and covers a large area with thousands of houses. The gas company may knock on water company door with the bill later? Maybe they are owned by same person or owners are close friends who will fiddle with the cost. At the moment I have heard on television and radio news several times that home owner insurances are going to pay for this. In other words you and I will pay.
  4. It has been announced now that the people involved will get double the standard compensation for what has happened.
  5. It costs a lot more to heat the house. You may get warmed up by some childish decoration of female genitals. But when it gets really cold and there is no money to pay for gas or electricity you will not be thinking about vajazzles. And they are not even that expensive, put that money in a PAYGO meter and it be gone almost instantly.
  6. If any of that water is still left in these gas-pipes, that will be frozen now and difficult to remove. Unless they use some defrost chemicals, but it does seem to be more difficult to get that right. Any house with water in gas network will need to be properly heated and defrosted before the gasnetwork can be properly cleared. Mind you it would be cool if the gas meter freezes stuck because of ice but still lets gas though.
  7. It was all on calendar and the national news again saying it will still take several days to get everyone connected again. There was one woman who had a single electric cooker there. I usually use two or three pot/pan while cooking, can't do much with just one and a microwave.
  8. Fair enough. Does anyone here have any experience with these keep warm places? We keep heating on now and are lucky enough to have dinner tonight.
  9. Now it is getting even colder this year it is said that many people have to look for alternative options to stay warm. This because of recent gas/elec cost increase of hundreds of percent. Now there are public places in Sheffield to stay warm when it gets cold I noticed there seem to be less bushoppers than usual around this year. We have switched on the heating but even then it stays cold with current temperatures of near freezing. Eating or heating must be one of the most stupid sayings invented by tories to tell people to live in the freezing cold. Because if you don't eat you will die sooner than living in the cold.
  10. It looked like an air pressure issue, as soon as the portable compressor was connected the pantograph went back up smoothly. What about the doors are they air pressure too? I don't know but they appeared to have to fiddle with them as well. Lots of tram related issues and delays lately although last weeks yellow route only going to arena all day was because of the police investigation after a serious injured person was found by the rails near centertainment.
  11. On itv Calender tonight the question is asked if home insurance will pay these homeowners? And if their insurance will go up from it. Unbelievable this should be Yorkshire water responsibility.
  12. Good thought. See different conductors on tram all the time. That tram at fitzalan Square sorted now. A team of engineers came and tried to put the electrical connector up manually but that did not work. Then they connected some type of combustion motor compressor to get it up again.
  13. Trams stuck at fitzalan Square. Five trams in a row. First one electrical connector stopped working and can't get anywhere now.
  14. She means they could help out clear the pipes domestically and help engineers like assistants. She may have a point this this a big major problem that puts people without gas more than a week on coldest December days. Lucky this did not happen Christmas eve. Were told immediately army will drive ambulance when drivers strike, an engineer could easily assist gas engineers increasing their speed at every house that needs gas ASAP again.
  15. Engineers have been brought from around the nation and have been working around the clock. Water was squirting out of gasmeters, hobs, from boilers, gasfires. I do assume all these gasmeters will need replacing, all pipes cleaned of every drop water. All these appliances cleaned and tested. Every house then pressuretested for safety. Only gas safe registered people are allowed to do this in UK, not much the army can do here other than hand out the electric heaters and hobs.
