According to the Health and Safety Executive, 64 explosions have been reported so far in 2014 compared to 51 for the whole of last year. There were 32 cases in 2012, thus indicating a steady rise over the past few years.

The explosion seen in the latest video was found to have been caused by an electrical fault in a link box chamber.

Westminster Council said that the explosions can be caused by either a build-up of gas or moisture entering cables and other fittings.

I still think you should dig the moat. I've been looking at maps of the area closely (and learning)....there's one part near the laughing witch's mouth you could start at on the western coast :thumbsup:

I just guessed that....... apparently i was correct :lol:


The city of Perth in Western Australia was named by Captain James Stirling in 1829 after Perth, Scotland, in honour of the birthplace and parliamentary seat in the British House of Commons of Sir George Murray, Secretary of State for War and the Colonies.
