Why when this sort of thing happens is there usually someone after the fact who has been 'smelling gas for weeks' but not reporting it ...
Why is it that there are so many gas leaks I get sick of reporting them? It ends up feeling as if no-one else bothers.
A few weeks ago as I left a car park in the middle of a busy town, I noticed a very strong smell of gas and reported it. About four weeks earlier at the same place there had been a slight "is that gas or a funny smelling exhaust" smell. The gas people came and sorted it straightaway - which confirmed my report. Had anyone else reported it I'd have expected it to be have been already investigated and fixed.
