Dedicated To Serve

A couple who were waiting for their gas supply to be reconnected after a leak, awoke to find that an engineer had called at their home at 3:35 in the morning.

Michael and Catherine Hopcroft had waited at their Bristol home the night before for an engineer to call.

In the morning, they found a card from Wales & West Utilities on the doormat.

A company spokesman said they operate on a 24-hour basis.
