It seems that Broadband work may have damaged tree roots causing the trees to fall over. This is from initial investigations. If this is found to be the cause the rules with regard to digging near to trees may be changed

More supposition without foundation ...
But what else do we expect from you.

Around me it's trees that are causing broadband to fail! 
The storm took out the power for most of yesterday. Just seen OR up a cherry picker repairing a line close to me - my line seems to have got away with things, so far...

That would seem to be the case for any digging up around trees - presumably just covering broadband as it is the current flavour of the month and the most likely thing to have been recent digging (although around my county they have been replacing all the street lights and there has been far more digging for that than for broadband).
|
|

Agreed, and broadband digging in 2013 tends to be limited to small runs of a few metre between cabinets, rather than the complete streets that the cable companies started in the 1980's.

Ah yes the usual "experts said" line from the Daily Mail... and of course the obligatory 1 massive photo to every 10 words of text format. 80 words of misinformed propaganda accompanied with 8 large images. They'll link in immigration soon by saying they dug the trenches for the cables.

I thought it was the wind. Not that there was much of that anyway.

Thanks for the link Andrew.
I note the fourth picture down, not counting the video, appears rotten anyway. It's caption is very fitting.

It took BT 5 weeks to repair my phone line after the '87 storm. We had to wait 3-4 days in a cold house before power was restored. This time both phone and power kept working, but where I live there was nothing like so much wind.

A good thing if they go independent will be a major reason for our continuing to drop back to GMT for half the year will go with them  .

Which is why you and I in England are not going to get a vote
'cos I for one would vote yes to Scots independence to get sodding rid of them.
|
|
|

The big question we should be asking about this is:
What will be the effect on house prices and are they foreign trees?
|
|
|
|
There is always an EDL member about to show everyone how nice they are :}
Ps.. you would get to Vote If you lived in Scotland ...just a small technical point for you to consider !
|
|
|
|
But that would require moving to Scotland and I hear it's a bit chilly up there.
|
|
|
|
It would have depended on where you live In some parts hundred of trees have come down and buses and lorries have been blown over. Many people have been without power for over three days
|
|
|
One bus? A couple of lorries or similar?
