Why do I see some (but a small number) of gas pipes (from people's meters along the wall for a few metres into their house) lagged? Gas liquifies at -162 C, and Scotland isn't THAT cold. Mind you it's very thin lagging, so may serve some other purpose? Is it to make it look pretty?
f*ck off with your trolling hucker prick
Depends on the gas :)
Butane liquefies at the temperature of ice cream.
Could it be denso tape, to prevent corrosion, or does it really look like thermal lagging?
Could it be to disguise some easily nickable copper?

While most Americans believe that getting rid of religion is an impossib= le goal, much of the developed world has already accomplished it. Any ac= count of a =E2=80=9Dgod gene=E2=80=9C that causes the majority of Americ= ans to helplessly organize their lives around ancient works of religious= fiction must explain why so many inhabitants of other First World socie= ties apparently lack such a gene.

Yes, it looks like that. So copper doesn't last outside then? It's onl= y on about 5% of houses, so I'm guessing most think it's not needed, or = not before the warranty of the installation expires anyway :-)
It's not a very good disguise. A pipe from a gas meter tends to be wort= h something.
Anyway, at =A32.40 a kg, is it really worth taking such small bits?

Only the ones that haven't tried it before. The wise ones use a spirit stove or propane.
Only if they want cold tea.
Propane or propane mix would be the order of the day :)
Was in a caravan when I was a kid in autumn. Couple of cold nights and we had to wait before we could fire up the stove with butane.
Gypos round here are VERY stupid.
With difficulty
Mostof these gas cartridges have a butane propane mix.
I thought burners were calibrated for a particular gas and wouldn't work right with the wrong one.
I disagree.
