Drive down to the pub, take patio heater from the smoking area, drive home.

Are you serious guys? Sleeping in the S?

Why would the gas be turned off?

You got me worried...

Trish, if you are that sodding cold.

Go to the kitchen, switch on the hobs, all of them.

Give it 10 minutes. Place will be roasting.




We don't need no stinkeeen boilers ( to paraphrase a great quote )




Edit - If you have electic or halogen - don't bother.

No idea - The "reliable" S fuel guage was the only measure.

With petrol at 1.23 a litre thats surely a very efficient way of thawing the lawn in front of your house

Guys, thanks for your concern but the gas in my house is running fine and my place is cosy and warm!

I was pondering how long the S would run for if I needed to keep warm in the unlikely event that the gas is turned off...

No the trick is to keep the S in the garage - with the door locked tightly shut.

Then drop the roof


Oh wait.. bugger.. I think there might be a slight tintzy wintzy flaw in that plan.
