JPTfellterrier 65 Posted December 30, 2008 Report Share Posted December 30, 2008 well atleast you got your xmas dinner, were there still houses that were left without gas? i was rather peed off with that live interview they did on GMTV because fiona or what ever they call the presenter women kept on asking the gas women the same blooming question "so why didnt you get to the gas leak earlier" and her reply was the same "we were trying to get the correct people in as it was a high risk leak" but i swear to god she asked that question about four times in the space of about 2 minutes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
