I wonder if there were any repercussions within the contractor's firm?

A couple of years ago we had to have a considerable length of water pipe renewed between the meter, just outside the front boundary, and the house.

One of the team undertaking the job asked me if I knew where the electricity cables and gas pipe were situated.

Although they use detectors it always pays to have a rough idea of where to look before you start.

He told me that if they struck gas or electricity supplies compulsory drug and alcohol testing followed in short order.

Whatever the situation in this event, I've no doubt that legal letters have been flying back and forth.
