Two oul' biddies talking about it on my way into work now. Apparently a woman is still in hospital in an induced coma and will require skin grafts for burns. This was not far from where I live and is the first I've heard of it!

Apparently the leak was on the road and the gas travelled through the ducting for the electrics and up through the cavity

That happened in a house in my wifes estate some years back. They got a brand new house built and put up in a hotel for the duration.

Do you think they will ever switch to gas?:D Sad joke:rolleyes:
