had a letter shoved through the door from the water people. I thought there was a lot of water on the road next to one ofthe numerous trenches on my road the gas people are working on. Seems they hit a pipe and a load of rust particles have been disturbed so for 3 days next week they are going to flush the mains.

It says I shouldn't use the washing machine whilst they are doing it as the rust particles will permanently stain clothing, loss of pressure, it isn't harmful to drink but if it doesn't taste good they will put a stand pipe up for drinking water (deep joy) and after it's done, there may be a taste and smell of chlorine in the water - for a week. It also says I may want to store some water in containers before they start.

I may have to go out and batter the individual from the gas board who hit the pipe with the drill/spade/other hard implement he hit it with.....

It's like an obstacle course on my road, they've really spread themselves along it - and across it with piles of stones, ducting, plant machinery, trenches and barriers. I had to do a nifty manoeuvure between a mini digger and a big pile of rubble to get up the road this lunchtime and it was completely blocked in one direction this morning! Good job it's such a quiet road.

BB sounds like you are having fun. At least your council did not block off one side of the main roundabout in town, at 9.00 monday morning, it has caused chaos. but will be finished in 2 weeks. then they start the 2nd side.... bah!!
