It’s hardly even surprising now is it. It’s a similar story in the water system, there are 50+ year old pumps being continuously bodged back together when they should have been replaced decades ago.
But hey, we don’t need to worry about the petrol distribution network: We sold that off years ago, and I’m sure the private company owning it isn’t wringing every penny out while ignoring all maintenance.
But given the profit that’s been made from gas, how is there any excuse? What have they been doing for decades?
Enjoying their profits, obviously

Edit: Refreshing seemed to make the paywall banner go away…
Edit2: Nevermind, paywall banner comes up several seconds after. Disabling javascript for the telegraph domain makes the entire article visible.
Firefox has a reader view that seems to work. Look for the page icon to the right of the URL field. When clicked before the paywall message comes up the entire article was visible for me.
If you’re using Firefox and uBlock Origin, there’s a filter called Bypass Paywalls Clean filter worth installing.
Reduce Reuse Recycle
Sounds like they are doing great at the reuse phase
