Hello again Adam, will you never just give up,here is your chance please prove by saying anything factual and allow me to prove you wrong,not a big challenge, just prove me wrong in anything that I have posted, shouldnt be hard I haveover 8000 posts so tell me where I am wrong ?
Prove you wrong about what? You are 100% correct.. I already said this but I think you are a genius

And by the way, how did you know I was Adam?? Another masterstroke deduction from you. You're on fire man.

I'm guessing Adam is an old member of this forum?? I see you've been here since 2010 - you must have fought a fair few battles. - and of course won. And now you think every time someone disagrees with you.. 'oh, I know who this is, it's Adam who embarrassed me in the winter of 2012 in a thread about tumble dryers'

By the way, come 2031 do you think you'll still be posting here?? I hope so, you're an asset to this forum - they should give you a long service award

@ianmcd - men wanna be him and women wanna be with him. What a guy!

Interesting, but the article doesn't give a theory about where the gas came from, coal gas (in 1962) or naturally occurring, as in the Abbeystead case.

It would appear that gas leaking from the decomposing iron pipe had found its way into the telephone cable conduit and thence traveled upwards to fill the local small automatic exchange housed in a modestly sized wooden building sited near the Four Ashes crossroads. The concentration of gas mixed with air, an explosive combination, must have turned the little building into a bomb just waiting for a detonator. The tiny spark from the contacts as they opened when Percy replaced his receiver was all it took and BANG!!!
