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.

That is your opinion as a qualified electrician is it?

If it ain't broke don't fix it. Who's it going to hurt? An earthworm?

You've all missed the point. Its a fiendish plot. They aren't just replacing the lampposts they are installing hidden video cameras and listening devices with connected Tazers. They'll keep you rabble under control.
