We’ve worked hard on this, so apologies if you find it on every single Telegraph Pole Appreciation Society channel tonight – there’s always ITV2!
Anyway, we have long perpetuated the myth that the cross arms on telegraph poles always show the way to London. This was first raised by various members of this fair and esteemed society, but also by John Mills in the 1942 film “The Black Sheep of Whitehall”.
Well now we have absolute proof of the truth in this – we caught up for an interview with one of the last ever Telegraph Pole Alignment Officers, out on his patch in Wales. This 10 min short has lots of telegraph poles in it and was made here in ruralest, middest, darkest Wales. Do enjoy. Feedback appreciated.
