It's a HV line as just south of the property is the transformer on the terminal pole. Not usually used for joint user poles unless the pole is a big one and so the safety distance can be maintained.

....The particular linked article is typical sensational half-story of course.

I'd say the Scottish redtops are rushing in to fill the void left by The Sport.

I know, let me just go build a house on top of Snowdon and ask for a phone line, I bet they'll quite the same thing!

You'd need to knock the caf� down first though so not quite the same.

Never been to Snowdon so don't know whats at the summit (if anything), but was using it mostly as a metaphor. Basically trying to point out that yes there is a USO, but not to the point where BT are compelled to provide a line to someone practically on Mars.

There's a "cafe" there alright although it looks more like a WW2 artillery bunker. Still when it's foggy enough you can't see it..... Even smilies get lost up there most days.

I think "railway" is stretching things almost as far as the £53000 charge.

And inside the Eiger to get to the top of the Jungfrau.

In that context, husky pee in the snow is disgusting.
