What size of drill bit did you use for the 'woodpecker hole'?Western Power distribution.
they found a woodpecker hole in the transformer pole that supplies three phase to our neighbour and single phase to us ( they wanted £20k to upgrade us to 3 phase over 25 years ago).
I asked if any chance of 3 phase to us while they are here, they could possibly bring it to first pole from house the WPD chap said, then I asked if any chance of putting cable underground if I do trenching, he said he would speak to his manager and see what they could do. Result, on Wedsday we are getting a new 3 phase underground supply into the house completely free of charge.
BT - Mum lives in "assisted living" flat. Thursday, BT turned up to connect flat opposite Mum. They connected new owners in neighbouring flat, but also managed to disconnect Mum's phone line at same visit. Mum very distressed as it's her lifeline. I spoke to BT helpline, and they promised it would be reconnected today.....after I gave them both barrels with knobs on. Mum phoned me 4pm tonight saying she was reconnected [emoji106]; just in time for her 90th birthday [emoji512] tomorrow, when all and sundry will be phoning to wish her "happy birthday". Thank you BT![emoji106][emoji4]

That was a few years back and had first class service since.lots of bucket manufacturers about but if I don’t use local people I get £60/80 delivery on top of bucket.can pick up attachments locally so save a bitIME Evan's and Reid in South Wales always good to deal with for such items.
