Tree grown up against Phone line pole. What happens...?

[Daniël Bos]

now i'd agree with this but current experience is proving otherwise, my relief tractor driver managed (not sure how!) to hit a eleccy pole with our tractor whilst mowing silage. He snapped it off about metre high and the top of the pole was being held off the ground by about a foot cuz of the eleccy cables. Now they came out about 6pm, erected new pole and buggered off, they obviously took all the details of who, what and the like and i expected to see a nasty bill in the postbox fairly smartish........ but that was late june and still no bill...............

 

I once caught a guide-rope of a big electric stick, it gave the wires a nice litttle tug and snapped them off the wall of the boss' house, 6 poles further:001_smile:

They were there and gone agin within the hour. I offered to foot the bill when it would come as it was a stupid mistake I made and I've yet to see it. (4years +)
