Thank you. I had a map (only tells you where it comes in the road) but as I'm a corner plot and it runs up the hill, the pipe was higher up then where it started. I just think sending 3 men to fix it was excessive. 

One to dig the hole, one to repair the pipe, one to make the tea

Cheap then as number four would be the supervisor .Number five the one who leaned on the shovel all day .

Workmen had been digging a trench along my road to install a new storm drainage system. Despite me warning them of a gas pipe, they still managed to cut through it - Wasn't the first pipe they had cut through either.... Had (from memory) six guys from the Gas Co turn up over the space of four hours to fix the pipe. A fee of £1300 was being bandied about, so £600 is cheap.

Think how much it would have cost had there been a gas explosion.
