Is it Natural Gas or Laughing Gas? Part 2 of Delwyn Snaith's saga!
We left Delwyn with high expectations as he had been assured that both sorts of window cutters were going to turn up. Did it run smoothly from now on? Read on to find out.........
9 March: It's
Sunday - the Big Day. They should be here any minute; well, perhaps any hour;
well, perhaps any day now. You’ve guessed it, nobody turned up.
10 March 2014 Telephoned
Shirley who said that she had tried to telephone on Saturday to let us know
that they had the window cutting tool but could not get a window cutting person
who wanted the overtime and was prepared to come out on a Sunday. My patience
was now getting pretty thin, and we agreed that the job would be done on 20
March. This gave them ten days to get their act together. What do you think
happened?
19 March: A lorry
from Morrison’s, contractors to National Grid plc, arrives and drops off some
road signs and safety barriers. Things
are looking up.
20 March: 08:30 Two men from Morrison’s arrive to install the
gas pipe.
Have
we been here before?
09:30
We had two men looking at a metal pipe
in a big hole, one of them on the telephone. After half an hour the one not on
the telephone came to the door to say they had not been able to contact the
window cutter who was supposed to cut the window in the pipe. They said that they would not leave until the
job was finished.
10:30
A third man arrived – the
supervisor. He assured me that we would
have gas today.
14:30 Another lorry arrives. It's the window cutter and guess what? No,
you’re wrong. He HAS got a window cutter and in fifteen minutes he's cut the window
and gone.
You might ask where had he been all
morning, and where was he going to in such a hurry. Well, apparently, the story goes like this:
§ The Morrison’s
scheduler had sent two men to dig a hole for me, but had not arranged for a window-cutter
man.
§ The
scheduler had sent the window-cutter man to another job in Suffolk, but had
failed to send any diggers to that site.
§ So, my two
men stood around for half a day looking at the hole in the road, wondering
where the window cutter had got to.
§ At that time,
the window cutter was at another job, looking at a tarmaced road and wondering where
the diggers had got to.
OK, back to the best bit of the story. We now have
a window in the black metal pipe, and we can see the yellow gas pipe and, hey
presto, they make the connection and we now have gas. But wait – the tale does not end there.
You might now be thinking that as
we’ve got the gas, what else could go wrong? Don't forget that we’re dealing
with Morrison/National Grid.
21 March: A lorry
arrives with two men who filled the hole with some hardcore and tamped it down
with a jump-up-and-down oscillating tamping machine, commonly known as a “whacker”.
Very efficient. They then left saying that the tarmac guys would be along
tomorrow.
“What's
wrong with that?”, you ask.
Well,
later the same day a lorry turned up. The driver had three bags of permanently
soft tarmac, which he broke up into small pieces and put into the hole. He
raked this with a shovel to get it as smooth as possible, as that was the only
tool he had brought. Now, I have just
said that the only tool he had brought was a shovel (no whacker). So he whacked
the tar down with his shovel and said that it would be all right, as the
passing cars would do the rest.
Three weeks after this episode, the proper tarmac job was undertaken.
Oh, I nearly forgot.
24 March: British Gas
telephoned to ask if they could postpone the installation of the meter until
later in the week, and we agreed that “later in the week” would be the next
day.
I
then received a second telephone call from British Gas saying that their
engineer was unable to install the meter tomorrow. I was asked if it would be convenient for
their guy to come along and install it within the next forty minutes. I said YES. He duly arrived and in half an hour we had
gas and a gas meter.
HAVE YOU
HEARD ANYTHING LIKE IT? AS THEY SAY,
“YOU COULDN’T MAKE IT UP”.
All of the above took place just to get gas connected from the road
onto the property.
I’m pleased to say that we had a
happy ending to the above challenges. We
had booked a qualified gas fitter who was amenable to fitting in with the
ever-changing dates. He was recommended
by “Josephine” at the “Blue Lion”! and when
came to give us the estimate he talked the technical talk and seemed to know
what he was doing.
Did he know what he was doing? YES
HE DID. What a fantastic installation. He was pedantic about where the pipes
went and how the bends looked. He even cleaned out the inside of the existing
central heading pipes with a big magnetic machine called a “Power Flush”.
I would recommend this guy to
anyone. He now does our annual service.
We had to have him back when we had
a leak from the central heating under the floor, for which we had to make a
claim on the insurance.
That, however, is ANOTHER STORY!
Thank you to Del for his story which I'm sure we all find amusing but probably nearly drove Del to drink!

Is it Natural Gas or Laughing Gas? - A tale of our times.
by Delwyn Snaith
This is a true story of how we had gas supplied to our property in Needham in 2014. It is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Only some of the names have been changed to protect the innocent.
This is a true story of how we had gas supplied to our property in Needham in 2014. It is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Only some of the names have been changed to protect the innocent.
Celia, being more money-cautious,
looked at the price we were paying for our heating oil, together with the fact
that when energy prices were discussed on the news, it was only gas and
electricity that was covered; oil prices never got a mention.
I'll tell this story in the way of
a diary, as it's easier.
We were told to ring a British Gas
telephone number to arrange for the connection to the gas main in the road.
20 January: We received
a letter from the New Housing Connections Division of British Gas, together
with information sheets for the site manager, telling us that we had to fit a
U6 meter box to the property and that National Grid plc would come and excavate
all trenches required for the project.
28 January: While we
were out, a surveyor called from National Grid plc (I’ll call him Alan) and
looked at the job. He rang me at about 8.00 pm to say he had been to the
property. He recommended that we bought a meter box from
a local builders’ merchant, which he said would be easy for me to install. I ordered
this and it arrived a few days later.
I was a little apprehensive about
fitting the meter box without a lintel so I rang "my friend" Alan at
National Grid. He told me that these boxes were always fitted without a lintel
as, at the worst, there would only be one unsupported brick. No problem. So
with my trusty angle grinder, hammer and chisel, I cut a hole in the wall. The
box fitted neatly into the hole. As instructed by Alan, I liberally coated the sides
of the box with silicon filler/adhesive and pushed it into the hole. Whoopee, it
fitted like a glove.
Now for the next
stage.
12 February: I received a
letter from British Gas to Mr” Delwin
Smaigh”, whoever he is. This letter advised that to get our gas
account up and running, they needed our meter reading.
14 February: I rang
British Gas and explained that I hadn’t got a meter yet. I was told that I couldn’t have a new meter
until I had supplied the reading from the old meter. So I again told him that "I
HAVE NOT GOT A METER". The
operative told me that he could not proceed without a meter reading, so I asked
to speak to his supervisor. The
supervisor advised that the meter reading would be 0000. So I politely enquired
why, in that case, had they sent the letter. He said "Just ignore
it". I then asked him why I needed an account with British Gas, as I
intended to buy the gas from EDF. I was then told that I had to buy my first
month's gas from British Gas, and then I could change suppliers. I thought this
was odd so I rang EDF who told me, yes,
I had to go with British Gas as I had arranged through them for the gas pipe to
be fitted by National Grid. I then asked
"Could I have done this through EDF", and was told, yes, it would
have been possible if I had not already signed up with British Gas.
20 February: I had a phone
call from a gentleman who was from either National Grid or British Gas, I can’t
recall which (by this time I was beginning to lose the plot) to tell me that
the connection from the pipe in the road to the meter box would be done on 28
February. He then asked me what type of main was in the road. Thinking this was
a stupid question, (I now know it's not a stupid question) I answered "A
gas main". He then asked if it was high pressure, medium pressure or low
pressure. I asked "How do you
expect me to know?"
Right, everything was duly
organised and the gas pipe was scheduled for installation on 28 February,
the meter on 3 March and the heating engineer was booked for 10 March (Being a pessimist, I allowed a week for problems - only a week?
Silly boy.)
27 February: A lorry from Morrison’s
(not the supermarket, but contractors to National Grid plc) arrived and dropped
off some road signs and safety barriers.
28 February: Two men from
Morrison’s arrived to install the gas pipe.
Now, you may ask what was wrong with that. The answer is nothing YET.
There was an argument between the
two men. The one with the plan said that
the main was under the pavement, and the one with the metal detector said that
it was under the road. So they agreed that they would start with the pavement, as they had to dig
through it anyway. This they did - no
main, so they dug into the road where they found the main.
You may ask, “ So what's wrong with
that?”. I'll tell you. I’m sure you’ve heard the stories about the “wrong” type
of snow. Well, this was the “wrong” type of gas pipe. This was a metal pipe
which had leaked in the past, so a plastic pipe had been inserted into the
middle of it. The problem was that they needed a “window cutter” to cut into
the metal pipe so that they could connect to the plastic. This tool was on
another van. They had the wrong type of van.
In order to prevent confusion later
on, I will explain here that there are two distinctly different window cutters.
1. A window cutter
is the tool used to cut into the metal pipe, thus making a window in the metal
casing, through which you can see the yellow plastic pipe which carries the
gas.
2. A window cutter
is the man/woman who uses the tool in order to cut into the metal pipe.
I hope that's all clear, because it
wasn’t clear to National Grid/Morrison that you needed both.
The two men finished off the part
of the pipe installation from the hole in the road to my newly-installed meter box
and said a window cutter would come along with a window cutter and finish the
job.
Now here's a bit of legal stuff. National
Grid are obliged to seek permission from the relevant Council if they want to
dig up a road. They are given a window (here we go, another window) of four
working days to do the job and they MUST then reinstate the road within four
days or be fined.
5 March: A lorry
turned up with a load of hardcore and filled in the hole in the road. Great,
but how about finishing the job?
Later
in the day, two lorries turned up - one with the tools and the other with the
tarmac. The holes were filled in and rolled flat. Not a bad job, considering
that the hole in the road was going to be dug up again when the window cutter
arrived with the window cutter (Are you keeping up?).
When they
started to put the tools away, I asked who would be filling the hole in the
path on my property near to the garage. I was told that this wasn’t their responsibility,
as all they did was public roads.
Back
on the phone to Shirley at Morrison’s. She checked with the scheduler and
reported back that he was under the impression that both the holes on the
property had been made good, but he promised it would be done A.S.A.P.
5 March: A man from
Morrison’s arrived to take away the barriers around the now beautifully
tarmaced hole and started loading them onto a lorry. A second Morrison lorry
then turned up, and I recognised the driver as being the man who had delivered
the signs and barriers.
Now,
slow down, you've got it all wrong; it's worse than that.
I
went to talk to the delivery guy who said "Where's Holly Barn? We have an installation there tomorrow". I pointed down the road and said "Can you see that black building, that's
it".
So,
armed with this information I telephoned "my friend" Shirley. I
asked her if the crew who were attending Holly Barn tomorrow were aware that
the main was in the road, not in the pavement, and that they needed a window-cutting
tool and a window-cutting person. Shirley was delighted that I had been so
public-spirited as to ring her and let her know, thereby helping their
installation run smoothly.
I
said "Seeing that you are so grateful, how about when they have finished
that installation with the window cutter and the window cutter, can they come 178
metres down the road and do mine?". "What a good idea. I’ll see if that can be arranged”, she said.
Ten
minutes later Shirley rang back to say that the Council had given the go-ahead
to dig up the road again. The window cutter
and window cutter would cut my pipe after they had finished at Holly Barn. GRRREAT!
6 March: I had to
go into Harleston on the afternoon. As I
drove out of the drive, I looked up the road to Holly Barn and could see some men
were up there working. GRRREAT!
When
I got back home at five o'clock, I didn’t have a hole in the road and there was
no- one working at Holly Barn. They had finished before three o'clock. Celia
had checked.
7 March: I telephoned
Shirley and asked what had happened. She
said that she wasn’t aware that the job had not been done. She checked up on
this and returned my call. She advised that the scheduler had cancelled the
call because the Council had not given the go-ahead (in actual fact, the
Council had given permission). She asked me to leave it with her.
Shirley
rang back to ask if it would be all right under the circumstances to the job on
SUNDAY. " I said “ Yes, please. You mean to say that you can get a window-cutter
with a window-cutter?”. She said "YES".

From the Editor
It is with great sadness that I report the death of Sylvia Miller after illness. Sylvia served Needham for many years as a valued member of the Parish Council, a Trustee of the Townsland Trust and also a member of the Friends of St Peter’s Church where she was a regular worshippper. Our condolences go to Sylvia’s husband of over 60years, George, and their family. On a personal note, George & Sylvia were among the first people we got to know when we came to Needham in 2004 and a nicer couple it would be hard to find.
A funeral service will be held at St Peter’s church on Saturday 6 May at 12:00.
I have noticed quite a lot of fly tipping at various locations in the village. It is possible to report fly tipping on the South Norfolk website at
www.south-norfolk.gov.uk/flytipping-and-littering or by emailing the details to envserv@S-NORFOLK.GOV.UK
Last year our family enjoyed a morning out at Shotford Hall Farm. It is a really interesting and fun day for all ages. See the poster on the back cover.

St Peter's News
A new venture called Bumble Teas Church has been launched at St Peter’s Church. It will take place on the 1st Saturday of each month from 2pm - 4pm. The next date is 6 May followed by 3 June.
The new group is for children of all ages. If grandchildren are visiting grandparents in the village they too are welcome. Refreshments are available and there’s a chance for parents to get to know one another whilst the children can have time to play games, listen to stories and do crafts. There is no charge for this afternoon so please come along and join in.
A word from one of the Mums: “The theme for the last Bumble Teas church was Easter. The children started by making an Easter garden and they really enjoyed getting stuck into the mud and planting. Next was colouring in bunnies which once completed gave them entry to the Easter egg hunt in the church yard. The churchyard was beautiful on a sunny day and it was a safe place for the children to explore and, apart from the sound of children’s giggles and shouts, was very peaceful. Once back inside the church they tucked into some yummy snacks and drinks before some free play. The table football proved very popular. We ended the session with the children joining in the story of Easter and each child was given a Palm Cross to take home. The adults happily chatted and enjoyed getting to know each other over a coffee. Good fun was had by all!”
