Plus I'd probably cause an electrical fire and kill everyone so I'll be using extension leads.👍 Daddy just a question, because you know your stuff, I just wondered if the the gas heaters in which you put the big blue calour gas bottles in from the back were still around to buy, there were plenty around in the mid 70s and 80s.

I must say those are a bit pricy though. I bought one a couple of years ago from Rothergas If memory serves it was £135 Inc a 13kg bottle. Mind you, that was a couple of years ago.... Just checked and the price for a heater and 13kg bottle included is now £165. Edited December 9, 2022 by The_DADDY Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
Findlay 116 #41 Posted December 10, 2022 I wonder if this is going to be brought up at the next emergency (but couldn't be bothered) or (not on the flowchart) meeting. https://www.sheffield.gov.uk/your-city-council/emergency-planning There are people employed on big wages to plan and deal with these type of incidents and yet people were left to deal with things on their own.

Paid by the gas company by the looks of things, no mention of the water company, I wonder if the gas company chase them separately?
