went to my mates earlier and was driving down a dual carraigeway and this bad eggy smell came in my car. thought, "bollox, bet that's my catalytic converter" then thought "have i even got a catalytic converter?... but must be my car coz no other cars on road"
anyway, spent 4 hours at mates, came back and exactly same spot but on other side of dual carriageway bad smell again.
This time thought "shoot, thats GAS!!!! and if it is it must be a HUGE leak for me to smell it from my car!" (obviously having the heaters on pulled the smell into my car.
So, as i work for National Grid, obviously i don't want to make a complete prat of myself, so phoned said mate who also works with me and we decided between us it must be because cold weather bursts the pipes. So on the phone i gets to the gas emergency line and the guy on the phone reckons it is too.
so i told the guy if it's news worthy to make sure they mention my name,
but if it's not a leak, then to forget he ever spoke to me coz i'll never live it down at work
