Square poles and the spy who came in from the poled.

posted in: Oddities

Our telegraph pole surveillance network runs wide and deep.  Disturbing images just in from our agent in the field, codename “Ectoplasm” show power companies experimenting with laminated, square poles.

We hope you’ll excuse the relative low resolution of these photographs.  Agent Ectoplasm used a camera concealed within his butty* box to sneak this latest intelligence back to Telegraph Pole Appreciating HQ.  Ecto (as he’s known to his pals) needs to find a better place for his camera, because surely they’re going to get suspicious with him waving his butty box around like that to get these pictures.  

We’ll be passing these photos higher up our chain of telegraphular command to see what our boffins make of it.  Should we be worried? A quirky anomaly in pole land or the start of something more sinister?

 Good work Ectoplasm, we’ll carve your name with pride.
