A friend is being charged with leaving the gas on in our flat, he's asked me to say I left it on in error?

Is it illegal to leave the gas on in error?
Answer:
There is no such offence in the UK.

I can see a number of other serious charges though such as attempting to cause explosions, attempted murder etc.

Do not cover up for this person as it sounds as if the motives here are much more serious and sinister than you have been told by the suspect.

If you do, you may be charged as an accessory, which is very serious, or attempting to pervert the course of justice which is equally as serious. Both can carry heavy terms of imprisonment.

Think very carefully before you act.

Good luck
they are gonna throw away the f/uckin key
er, let' s think...

...what the fookin hell was your friend thinking about, you all could have died, its poisonous!!! what a cretin...
I dont think it is illegal to leave the gas on i.e your central heating boiler runs on gas and thats on whether you are in or out but you could say it was a genuine mistake we are not all perfect are we?
It's not illegal, just a stupid and idiotic thing to do!!
DO NOT, under any circumstances, take the wrap though. He should be big enough to take the heat himself!
if the gas has been left on, then some one has to pay for it...
You can't say it leaked?
How does that work...?

'Yeah sorry for nearly killing you mate do you mind if you take the blame?'

He's a keeper isnt he.
Let's think......... You could say No... but then he might ask you again.. and.. you'd have to post another message on here to ask what to do... and.. You're right this is a bloody predicament! Looks like you just might need to take the rap and do the time.
I do hope you learn a lesson from this and prison life teaches you to choose nicer flatmates/ cellmates in future.
no, it's not illegal in law so there's nothing you can be charged with by teh police, but your landlord will probably say it's a breach of your tenancy contract. Why are you taking the blame for something your friend did?
Eh? As far as I know there is no offence of "leaving the gas on"!

What is he actually being charged with?
