potential gas leak - will I die?

So having had my house rewired for electrics (just finished yesterday)... Upshot of the rewire is good...other than they had to report the grid-side of the meter as it all looks really old and crap, and they say the mains comming into the house basically has no earth! SO Ill cat a call about that from national grid or whatever... I thought I pay some attention to the gas...as that looks old too...I have an old style gas meter with a dial that reads in cubic meters... I noticed the meter is registering a tiny amount of gas when there is no demand...(I pulled the lever to shut the gas off last night, and there was no usage overnight). So today I isolated the gas combi boiler from the electrics so it cannot do anything -as I understand they can use a tiny bit of gas even when 'off'. The only other gas appliance in the house is the cooker. In the space of about 2 hours my meter reading (in cubic meters) went from 30235.374 m3, to almost 30235.375 m3. I'm sure this is a tiny amount but it should not be happening? I've ordered one of thesebefore calling a gas engineer out. Any opinions apprecitated! [URL[URL[URL
