Well we managed to get away with having the drive blocked for only a further day than was necessary by Severn Trent. They have a little advert on their site that says "spotted a leak? you can now report it on your mobile! My reply to that is why bother it took them 6 months to come and attempt to repair our leak.
The temporary traffic light failed spectacularly around 2100 the second night. By failed i mean they were on red at both ends. We were then treated to some interesting games of "chicken" by people realising that the lights were not going to change.
During the night the lights were removed and the cones grouped around the hole and a sign showing "road narrows on the left", causing only a minor inconvenience to other road users, was displayed. You know what's coming next don't you, why the heck couldn't they have done that in the first place!
This left the three cars from the terrace parked within the cones between the lights and the hole in a very dangerous position. The terrace is on the crown of a bend and so drivers were approaching, almost unaware of the 3 vehicles until the last moment. Thankfully there were no accidents.
Finally - - , the gas man did turn up he did service the boiler and announced that it was only between 75 and 78% efficient and maybe I should consider replacing it, - - - - if only the B services we rely on were 78% efficient would we consider changing them! I thanked him and sent him on his way.
