    Well if it had persisted down after you'd cut the grass, it would have stimulated growth. Your grass would have grown more vigorously and you would have needed to cut it again sooner. 
    I like your thinking.

    Hang on, this is sounding remarkably like positive thinking !  What's happened to the curmudgeonly bit ?  B)

    Sometimes we need to work to achieve true curmudgeon and sometimes we have curmudgeon thrust upon us

    Don't worry, AnniD - I can restore appropriate levels of curmudgeonness... our terrace has just had our gas cut off.  It's been a couple of years since the guy in the end house reported a suspected gas leak, but the gas men couldn't find anything.  We have an above-ground gas main, not unknown in this area.  They have now identified 6 leaks in the gas main, and disconnected it for an unspecified period.  A team is coming tomorrow to decide what to do.  We have a combi gas boiler, so will have to boil kettles for washing etc for the foreseeable...  :/

    I think it's been thrust upon me...   :#

    That doesn't sound like much fun Liri.  Hope it's all fixed soon.

    That is indeed a PITA Liriodenron. I hope they can sort something out quickly , as it is above ground with luck it will make things easier.

    Liri , a definite PITA !
    Hope they get it sorted soon 
    What about compensation !
  • LiriodendronLiriodendron Posts: 8,328
    Ooh.  Hadn't thought about compensation... thanks @GWRS, I'll look into that.   :)
