Or from Blackadder goes forth:
"Well, as far as I can tell, the message was, he's got a terrible lion up his end, so there's an advantage to an enema at once"

(The real message being "I said there's a terrible line at my end. You're to advance on the enemy at once")

Now there's a proper dog.

Thank you.

I contacted OpenReach regarding the low overhead line as suggested. You cannot email direct and you have to use a chat bot. Still once I was “speaking” with the department I was able to give him a what3words location, they cannot accept photos. I was told that someone would be there within 4 hours – hope I have not wrecked someone’s FTTP install..

I drove past yesterday and I assume a temporary fix has been applied.

Basically, in the Ancient Mariner’s vernacular, a piece of whammy has been used to tension the overhead

to the lean to support pole https://ancient-mariner.co.uk/public/Overhead%20Line...

With the remaining whammy then wound around the pole and secured with some cable ties

I assume that in due course someone with a cherry picker will come along and improve matters.

The bare three phase and neutral 400/415 volts at the top of the vertical pole does not help…

Cheers!

wow thats a semi bodge and a half, as you say, its a bit close to the electric line

If they used two of those ropes, would it be a Double Whammy?

The phrase that comes to mind is "lash up"
