Veteran correspondent on matters telegraph-polique, Andy Rowsell, recently sent us this picture of a dead pole. This one was in a ploughed field at Tregony in Cornwall.
Andy, you see, has the good fortune to work for those nice people at BT whereby he often happens upon such disaster-befallen poles. Thereupon he issues orders as to its repair/replacement/removal – but not before he’s got his trusty phone out and snapped a picture for the good and enlightened people who subscribe to these pages.
If there was a New Years Honours list for services to Telegraph Poles, I think he would probably be Andy Rowsell CBE by now. If he isn’t already of course.
