Try clicking the "upload pictures"button located about 3 inches above where you wrote "don't know"

done that

 

[bengasman]

done that

Now display them by clicking "edit" on your original post, then click "show images", and click on the individual photos.

No, it isn't illegal, and the gas utility will charge you to have it moved.

Best get a price to see what you're letting yourself infor.

No, it isn't.

It's down to the utilities to move it, at your expense.

HEY PICCIES!!!
As a reward for the visual entertainment, here is a tip that will save you some money.
Get rid of the card meter and get a normal one. This will enable you to find the cheapest rate for your area; this can knock £100 - £200 a year of your gasbill.

That installation is shocking!!!!

 

[bengasman]

Seen a lot worse.
Dead shame I didn't have my camera on me last week.
Corroded gasmeter on a pipe that had rotted so much that it was leaking, and a damaged distributor cutout sitting on the haspipe and faulty bonding to complete the disaster.
Turned the ecv off and called tofo and DNO.

I remember seeing a U40 meter dangling from the 2 flexi inlet and outlet pipes..... factory had taken the plinth away and left the bugger hanging

How it was still up I have no idea...... what made it more scary was the fact it was on an MP supply and the service was basically the only rigid support....

I left with the meter
