I’m one of the houses I’ve had no contact from British Gas (my supplier) or Cadent (their supplier). For the first few days I thought my boiler was broken it’s only when I mentioned it to someone else they said it was a wider issue.
Can someone ELI5 how mains water can get into a gas main?
I saw the report on BBC News and noticed a large yellow plastic pipe had been “flattened” using a car-type jack and a steel frame.
Are people in the UK used to below 0 temperatures? Can people generally survive?
Can someone please help me out understanding how the cold weather payment works.

>You’ll get a payment if the average temperature in your area is recorded as, or forecast to be, zero degrees celsius or below over 7 consecutive days.
So I looked at this week’s forecast and it’s lows of below zero for over a week straight, but highs of one or two. Does that mean a cold weather payment should be payed or is the payment based off of the “high” value?
It’s absolutely freezing in this old flat and because of the strikes my mail hasn’t been delivered properly, my electric voucher hasn’t arrived yet and I’ve had to top up the leccy metre so thats less money for gas.
