Whilst we know that 99% of all telegraph poles are made from trees, few are quite so obvious of their arboreal origins as this one. Thanks to regular contributor Andrew Rowsell for the photo. Andrew, a sort of latter day GPO official, visits the pages of the Telegraph Pole Appreciation Society by way of a busman’s holiday.
He didn’t say where the picture was taken but this one looks like it’s just had the branches all cut off and the wires attached.
He was also at pains to inform us that his friend Johnny has one of our pens. I was wondering where that had gone!
