Title: OK for a sparky its a stupid question but... Post by santacruz on Aug 1st, 2005, 8:56pm I sit hear in our study and next door is the kitchen. Every now and then and at no fixed time and it may only happen once a night I hear the ignition fire on the gas hob. There is no-one in the kitchen - SWMBO is watching TV in the lounge and I am here typing like there was no tommorow. Spooks? Leakage? Crap ignitor? I am drunk or what? Any ideas? Ta chaps - xxxx |
