  • I do not think you can blame UKPN for that one. This looks  like contractors digging a hole and cutting into the wrong pipe. 

    Going back to retrieve the drill or whatever it was is what in Yes Minster terms would have been called 'a brave decision' . Meaning damn stupid, but then folk are not always rational under stress, especially if this is not something they were expecting or had trained for, and I doubt it was.

    Still the good very news is that no one seems to have been badly hurt anyway.
