It's a gas!

Cadent is replacing all the gas pipes in our village.  The work will take about 42 weeks in total.

This week its our road being done, and weve had a hole outside our house for a few days.   Today is was our turn to have the new pipes fitted,  which they've done by pushing new pipes inside the old one. 

 Cadet had visited earlier in the week to let us know what would be happening.  They knocked on the door to tell us they were turning the gas off,  and we moved our cars so we weren't stuck, just in case it took longer than planned.

At 3.30, they'd all left.  And we hadn't had our gas turned back on.  

I phoned the number on the card and explained that we seemed to have been forgotten.  The chap phoned back and said the person who did the reinitialisation would be there at about 6.30.

He came about 8pm.   I felt sorry for him,  such a long day.  He knocked to explain he had to do something with the meter first, and then he would come in to do the 

When he knocked again it was to apologise and to tell me he couldn't reconnect us.  We hadn't  been connected, and he didn't know why. He'd phoned the team to let them know, and they'd have to sort it out tomorrow.

Oh well. 

It's not the end of the world.
