Why are councils re-laying all the cables and replacing all the
streetlamp poles for no ****ing reason? All they needed to do
was to change the lamp on the top. What a waste of millions of
pounds of council taxes. The cables worked fine. The poles
were in perfect condition.

A blonde was playing Trivial Pursuit one night. It was her
turn. She rolled the dice and she Landed on Science & Nature.
Her question was "If you are in a vacuum and someone calls your
name, can you hear it?"
She thought for a time and then asked, "Is it on or off?"

They are replacing the cables because LED lamps take less current
for a given light output, so it was necessary to reduce the size
of the supply cables.
