It's just a fun day really lol, lots of games and competitions and a BBQ the big event is during the winter..... Usually December. That one has the great big Longboat the torchlight parade, the songs and the boat burning ect ect. Like "Up Helly Aa" on Shetland but not on such a grand scale.
Those photos were taken by one of the professional photographers here and we'd asked her to do it for us, I couldn't take photos like that to save myself. So she did a small set up the beach a bit where it was quiet.

I have just been outside to have a look (i've been quite busy today) and, yes, there is indeed a lever to close the supply, though it is quite difficult to turn.  I shall have to spray a little WD40 on it.
Thanks for your suggestion and, yes, they wouldn't be able to change the meter if there wasn't such a thing.  Silly me!  🙄

There is no gas where we live .
I have electric and a wood burner.

Mine has one.

😁 😁   woollen socks.. !!! Been there.. done it..

When Edna walked into her church
She found a pew at the front to perch
The vicar was a handsome guy
And Ethel had a wandering eye
Edna! Ethel! ... both spinsters in search

Thank you everyone - it was fun to make.

Those photos are amazing, what a great event it must be!
