I was going to say (there's a pothead in there) but thought people might get the wrong idea. Andy

This line at that point goes underground for a few hundred yards and goes overhead again i don't know if they will cut these trees or just the ones on our line. Andy

There certainly is this one. Andy

I wonder if he will try claiming compensation. Some of the older overheads around here are solid copper. Andy

I have been to my uncles today and the problem is now solved there was the original D/P switch behind the settee and checking the resistance revealed the 17.5 ohm i was looking for and it was switched off. He doesn't remember switching it off but he had been away earlier this month and he...

There is a D/P switch the one i called the heater switch but nothing else. The property was built in 1974 and had 3 storage heaters and in the early 80's he had an extension built and he replaced all the original heaters and added this one in the extension. He has had no trouble with this...

It's a pity they weren't badly burnt as that would have been a better punishment than the courts could dish out. Anyway nice one westie it must have been strange explaining why someone was not killed,I do wonder if they knew what was in the pipes. Andy

The amount of wagons floating around here asking for metal has increased a lot over the past year. I caught 2 men at the back of our property and they asked me if i had any metal i didn't want and i said (smile you on candid camera ) and if i see them again i'll report them to the police which...
