No Gas

Now, I've never had a property that has gas before. Yesterday the gas man came to check my meter. It advised that the gas was turned off. I checked everything and until this morning, I still had hot water. That was not the case when I came home. There was no hot water. I turned the meter on but 20 minutes later I still hadn't had any hot water. So I had to go out to the gas thing - the furnace wasn't working and fiddle. Finally the gas furnace is now working. But I ate biscuits for dinner and some egg noodle. Not very appetising.
