[QUOTE="apprentice87, post: 300385, member: 13534"] Hi all, The DNO lot are a load of lazy incompetant halfwits. Near where i like there is an old garage that is being rebuilt into a shop. The other day i saw a hole on the ground, so i had to have a look!! There is a three phase service cable that they have disconnected and pot ended with one of them "torpedo things. So far so good. Only problem is, the cable leads to the garage through a length of 6" glazed sewer pipe, so who did this in the first place!! Secondly, where they have terminated the cable, the end of the torpedo is about 2 inches from the end of the pipe, and they have wrenched the cable round at quite am acute angle to make the torpedo fit the hole in the ground. All they had to do was to take a hammer and break off about 6 inches of the earthenware pipe, and they could have had a nice curved bend and their job would have been a lot easier. Another job they have done near me is to run a load of new services into a row of small shops. If it was you or me digging a trench for them to lay a service cable they would want it at a minimum 18 inches to the top of the duct. They though, have installed the cables about 6 inches down...
