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.

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.

That makes no sense...
