Is that leagal? .....

[Old Account]

Just walked few days ago and seen this one here. Seems like somebody likes free gas or am I missing something?

 

[snowhead]

Plastic bag could do with being bigger if they're trying to hide that..

 

[Harvest Fields]

Looks like a new governor as well

 

[Riley]

So I think the answer is no it’s not but when stuff like this is available readily. What the hell do you do????

£37.00. What a rip off. I’ll do it for £30

 

[townfanjon]

Incredible, it will probably be a waste of time but I would report them .

Gas safe would do nothing,however the supplier would be all over this as its theft of gas

 

[Old Account]

I actually was thinking about reporting it but then again I’m thinking about karma

 

[Riley]

They’re the ones breaking the law

 

[townfanjon]

Yes agreed , not GS’s problem . The gas supplier needs to know , but whos the supplier ??
To blatantly steel like that just boils my ****.
I would go put a disc in that .

 

[Darren Jackson]

I've seen these meter bypass bars for sale on ebay! totally unbelievable that anyone can purchase one. The supplier will prosecute for theft if they got found out. As for gas safe it is not their problem.

 

[Darren Jackson]

Is there even a handle on that ECV? doesn't look like there is one!

 

[Darren Jackson]

I suppose you could report it as illegal gas "work". As I can not see any legitimate engineer fitting the bypass. So technically it could be of interest to gas safe.

 

[Harvest Fields]

It could be capped already. Knock on and find out.

 

[Aire]

I would like to hope that someone wouldn't be that ballsy to do that and leave it on full view of the public, so I'm going to suggest maybe it's a way of moving the metre inside?

 

[Riley]

Away from the regulator?

 

[Aire]

Away from the regulator?

No idea, i don't know how a plumber would move a metre, I'm just trying to stay positive about humanity

 

[Harvest Fields]

No idea, i don't how a plumber would move a metre, I'm just trying to stay positive about humanity

Good luck with that.

 

[Last Plumber]

Do you reckon they have Earth Bonded it?
lol.

 

[Riley]

Yeah probably back to next doors consumer

 

[Best]

Would this have been a justifiable occasion to ring emergency services and say there is a very strong smell of gas coming from that house?
Then sit back and watch what develops.

Unequivocal yes

You are surely right about the disc. Could you just disc that off? If they changed the meter already they may know when it’s disc off. Perhaps it’s ap,umber too

Also too, no handle can be very dangerous. It’s already dangerously fitted as it’s not been done by an expert. Furthermore no handle

 

[Old Account]

If somebody would like to give cadent or somebody else’s a call I can give you the full address

 

[Riley]

Why can’t you Ron? You’re a responsible engineer like the rest of us

 

[Old Account]

I already contacted a company and gave all details.

 

[Old Account]

Just wondering how long it will take. I’ll check on it this weekend

 

[Riley]

I’d contact 0800111999 did you not

 

[Riley]

I’d say they should’ve been out by now I’d say it’s an emergency

 

[Old Account]

I’d say they should’ve been out by now I’d say it’s an emergency

I contacted

I’d say they should’ve been out by now I’d say it’s an emergency

I don’t know why you disliked but fair enough. I did say I contacted a company for gas safe theft and mentioned about the urgency.

 

[Riley]

Didn’t know I had. Removed

 

[Old Account]

Didn’t know I had. Removed

I contacted them now. Within the next 4h someone will be going there

 

[Last Plumber]

Ooooo the tension mounts.......I hope you are sat 100 Yard away with a pair of Bino's Matchless?
