Pole.

Zoomup
I am asking this on behalf of a friend. A young mum with toddlers that use the back lawn is concerned about the pole. The overhead supply comes in on A.B.C. cables and the pole being the last in the run has an earth electrode at its base. The pole is situated in a boundary hedge and the toddlers, over bare footed on the ground, can walk with 0.5 metres of the earth rod.


Are there any safety concerns here please?


Concerned of Peckham.

    There are no piles of dead sheep at the bottom of the pole.


     


    Is that because she lives on the High Street Chris? Or do the locals immediately grab the dead sheep for a Sunday stew??






    Many years ago we did work for a High Court judge, he stopped a trial to drive home because his dogs had got out and killed some sheep, so having driven home he wrote out a very generous cheque to cover more than the value of the sheep and gave it to the farmer.


    He thought that was the end of the matter having made a prompt and generous settlement, what he did not expect was that the farmer would return with all the meat neatly butchered and packed in freezer bags. The farmer actually played a blinder, the judge thought he would keep it quiet so friends and neighbours would not find out what had happened, but then he had to ask them all to put the meat in their freezers because he couldn’t get it all in his, which meant what had happened was soon the talk of the village.
