Don't fancy this much!

Hope that site is ready for the mulcher!

most of the work appears to be under control

:lol::lol::lol:

im sure they could apply to become employed but contracts and wages might not make it worth there while

Can't see that happening tbh.

Where do the subbies stand in all this? Would they contract directly to UKPN?

That's a better sight than the snow and ice!

All be it sideways!

That's a better sight than the snow and ice!

Times are a changing! Or going backwards? Not sure!

First of all I was surprised to see a different company doing pole changes, also heard the veg contract was going in house! What's going on?

No in general.

Someone told me there are only 4 side arm mounted disc cutters in the country! Surely this can't be true?

I have being going through the process of claiming back on a ppi for about a month I didn't even realise I had it until they sent me a bill for a credit card which I balance transferred over 2 years ago so I phoned them up and 20 mins later after being passed round the country judging from the accents I finally got to speak to the ppi claims department IN MUMBAI I think...... Bearing in mind at the time I took the credit card out originally I worked in a factory receiving full sick pay holiday etc so I don't believe I would have taken it but any way got a letter yesterday saying they do not believe it was missold and as I am having financial difficulties please call this number..... The cheaky b@)(£;'s I didnt say I was having any difficulties in fact i have never been as well off..... And furthermore there not giving me naff all

Apparently PPI on GE money mortgages are reclaimable so others may be as well

Not trying to stir things up here but how can it be mis sold, surely you knew what you were getting into when you took this stuff out, or did you not read the small print ?

I'm just interested to know is all.

Mis sold as in:

a) not being told you are paying it sometimes, as in my case it does not show on statements etc.

b) being told you had to have it or you can't have the loan.

c) being told you need when you don't because you are in full time work or have other finances available savings etc.

Santander, my mortgage provider. Don't forget that they have to pay interest on top of what they stole off you. I got eight percent interest.

 

I started a thread a while back.

6 loans, 3 credit cards and my mortgage! :thumbup::thumbup:

You can tell I married!

Forms?

 

I just called em and they asked why I thought I had a claim so I told em I was s/employed and that was good enough. Got the cheque for nearly 2k a few weeks after.

I have called them 2, couple days later I have forms to fill in.

The process is relatively easy, just make sure you have the info ready when you call!

Just wondering who has made a miss sold PPI claim and how long and much did they get back? Just going through the forms etc now!

Where's it snowing then people? Nothing yet in Suffolk!

All pictures were taken in North Norfolk, Kelling, near Holt and North Walsham.

 

It is a very odd arrangement, I guess things have been moved around and this was cheaper than a complete rebuild.

 

In the last picture the 11kv is running in the lower conductor for eight spans to a ground mounted transformer that supplies a hospital and the open phase lv that runs back along the same eight spans and runs off to other nearby houses.

 

I would guess the transformer used to be on the pole in the last picture and just supplied the houses. The hospital was built and due to voltage drop / three phase demand etc. they added the under slung 11kv to the gm tx and fed the lv back along the existing lv conductors to save money.

First of all this would of been better posted in the utility forum, second the conductors are only insulated to protect the conductors nothing else, thirdly pm me if you want the UKPN (EDF) tree managers contact details.

Are you looking for direct work or working as a subbie?

wouldn't it be nice if they used the profits to pay some money to all the contractors they owed when they went bust. I know guys who seriously planned to hang them selves when that happened, they lived day to day, some lost their homes, others their wives.

Business is business their director told me......

Unfortunately business is business, don't shoot the messenger. I know some of these people, wouldn't wish it on anyone!

.....

Just for good measure
