Nice one Mod6.
I can just hear the whole place go BOOM. No, I'll pass on that one.

How much do you want to spend? My Anton would be around £700 to buy!

What's it for? If you're worried about a leak in your own place just ring National Grid on 0800 111999 and they will check it out for free :wink:

Cheap but effective.

No big-all, the info you have provided says the happy Mondays are a band of some sort.
I don't want to play some music, so don't try and confuse me? :wink: I just want to spend around £150 for a gas leak detector (electronic or battery operated one, that is)! That's all.

It's probably worth me pointing out that KTM is indeed a fully registered gas guy :wink:

The box of matches made I laugh. :lol:

When I were a nipper and in the Brussel Sprouts, we had a gas fire at our HQ which leaked a bit from the supply pipe when the fire was turned on, the simple solution (to us) was to ignite the leak.

The leak used to burn with a small flame about the size of a pilot light but because it was burning it didn't smell as it did when unlit, it's terrifying now to think about it but it worked just fine for us. :oops:
One day it will all be firewood.

I do admit the matches idea was a good joke. It did make me laugh, loads.
