Gas leaks in America
Posted: 11 Sep 2018, 11:16
I’m a bit confused by a line in a book by an American author.
’The Brits become panic stricken at the mention of a gas leak and armies of gas inspectors and maintenance fitters instantly arrive on their doorstep.’
Do I take it there is a far more nonchalant approach to gas leaks in the US?
My own experience is that one man turns up with a gas sniffer and will switch off your gas if the leak is in the house. Only if it’s outside the house do van loads of engineers turn up in order to dig up the road.
