Slightly, ever so slightly, off topic, I had a dream last night.  A waking dream, which I remembered this morning:
It occurred to me that if we suddenly found that we had a gas leak, I cannot think of any way we could turn off the gas to the house in an emergency.  I'm pretty sure that there is no means of doing that at the gas meter outside.
I have had a good look around indoors.  We have a gas oven in the kitchen and a gas fire in the living room, and the boiler (which doesn't actually boil, of course) is in the garage.  Each can be turned off individually, but not the gas supply.
If there was a gas leak somewhere, we'd just have to open all the windows and call the gas supplier.
Has anyone ever thought about this?

All very impressive. Looks good enough to be in the series. I did enjoy the first few seasons of Vikings but like so many it started to go in what I considered an odd direction and I lost interest before the end of it.

All my WiFi SSIDs are set to locations from Norse mythology.

The fast (none are but the ones that put in a reasonable charge in less than an hour) are more expensive than petrol or diesel too in most cars.

Quote from: GrannyMac on July 05, 2026, 06:35:00 AMMy son in law likes his cars, and bought an electric one several years ago... He kept it for a year and then went for a hybrid. 
My son had one for the length of its lease. The next was a hybrid. He does have two cars and a camper van. The electric one was when he did a longish daily commute. His other car at the time was a diesel and that got used for holidays.
