Apparently the thievin' scumbags of this part of the world have taken to nickin' the wires off the poles.
What is this country coming to?
p.s. Now feeling a bit sick.
There's a limit to how much super soft ice cream you can eat.

We've been without 'leccy from 4am till 8.30pm today. It was the same story over last weekend.

glad to see you are taking full advantage of the situation
They've been pulling the big thick copper telephone cables out of the ground in Manchester for a while now. Crazy int it. Pinching cables from beneath the ground! Its not a fact now that you can't just put summat down, you can't put it down then bury it now!
a friend of mine recently refitted the lead on a large flat roof 5 days later it was gone again!!!
due to the building being listed they will not allow fibreglass
wonder how long it will last this time?
One of our suppliers in the midlands told us they had no power for a whole day as some bright spark decided to try and nick the copper from a
functioning sub station, needless to say he was found very dead and his mate ran off and left him.
The stupidity and desperation of some people amazes me sometimes.
Speaking to someone who works on the railways and he was saying that 2 or 3 times a week the signals do not respond and sure enough when the engineers
get to the scene some halfwits have nicked the cables that make the signals function.
One of Nigeria's largest exports is copper. They don't have a single copper mine there either. Its all nicked!
We weigh scrap copper in at £1,200 per tonne at the moment. Someone posted a link to the Longbridge photo's on this site recently - I was more
interested in the scrap value of the copper tanks at the derelict breweries and why the pikies hadn't nicked them, there must be £10k worth at
each site!

A few months ago my missus went to the hospital for a scan, except she couldnt have it done as someone had nicked the power cables that supplied that
part of the hospital
Lead went off our Church last night.
Someone must have seen them as it's right in the middle of the village and about 60 ft to the ridge.
Apparently they took it away in wheelie bins to a waiting pickup round the back of the shops.
No doubt a full scaffold will be required to replace it costing as much as the lead.
Bar Stewads!

Two of my fish died today. The other two are refusing to eat.
They are/were Tiger Oscars, 10" specimens. Had them since they were tiny.
The police have apprehended the ********,
so at least I will have the satisfaction of knowing they will be doing their two hours community service.

im utterly amazed that they have been caught. Their punishment should reflect the loss and inconvinience suffered by their victims. Two fingers and
two years id say.
Bizarre really, you wire things up to the mains to prevent people nicking them, what do you do when they nick the mains itself?
