I got one.
do you ever see something out on the road that really annoys you ? yes i know lots of things, something i have noticed in recent years, linesmen don't seem to have the skill these days to allow enough cable for cold weather between light poles, so many bent poles leaning i see around Melbourne these days,
and i mean truly leaning in a big way ! it is plainly obvious as the nose on your face the cables are dead tight in cold weather pulling the poles all out of alignment.
back in the good old days when we had the state electricity commission(before our evil politicians privatized every bloody thing) ,
the job was done properly by trained guys in the field, crooked poles where actually straightened, some that would not stay straight had a concrete block chained to them to keep them on a proper angle.

It is just another sign of the a time where we do everything cheap , we do everything in a hurry, company's cater for the shareholders not the people or services.
