A month or so ago I posted a question about a tube that I had seen at the
bottom of telegraph posts. I realied they were on new posts.

I found out today that the tube is to allow BT to put a probe down to
ensure that the contractors had made the hole to the correct depth and
hadn't trimmed a bit off the bottom of the post if boring the hole was
difficult.

Fark, that’s bizarre and nutty because with a difficult one they can
just drive the tube down further than the hole was for the pole.

And didn’t you say that the tube is added later ?

Bet someone is pulling your leg.
