Bodge JobsIf you can't fix it with a hammer and a roll of duck tape, it's not worth fixing at all, my old mate said minutes before that nasty business with the hammer and a roll of duck tape. Tell us of McGyver-like repairs and whether they were a brilliant success or a health and safety nightmare.

I've had gas for cooking for years. Sodding years.Anyway there was a leak a few years ago, and the service agents say they can't do anything about it. Apparently, their responsibility is just from meter to cooker. British Gas have the responsibility for the exterior stuff, and refuse to replace it, even though it's shitty cast iron, and nearly 50 years old. All they'll do is bodge it up, time and time again.
So now, as of next week the gas supply is being removed. Apparently, gas is too dangerous for flat blocks. Fair enough, they're giving me a new leccy cooker, the ceramic hob/double oven type, but I still feel dumped on.
British Gas - bodging fucks.

And you can get cookers which detect when the flame blows out but the gas is still onand shuts the gas off. Costs about £50 more for the hob.
