Wot, no streetlights?
You may have noticed that I’ve not updated this site with the progression of the streetlight replacement. This wasn’t because every person in the whole entire world threatened to stop reading my blog if I continued posting about them, it’s because there’s been absolutely no progress for a week.
The only thing that’s happened is that they’ve managed to dig the holes to place the new posts, and also force some of the old lights to be on permanently. The one behind my house has been on since Wednesday. I always thought it was photocell controlled. This clearly can’t be the case, unless they’ve over-rode it. In fact, I bet thet’s what they’ve done. I’d hazard a guess that the old posts are now running off the new cables, but with the switching mechanism disabled in some way. Makes sense, I suppose. It saves them having two sets of live cables running where they’re digging.
Enough about streetlights. I might as well incorporate two posts into one, and mention that Music Zone hasn’t closed after all. As I reported earlier, 68 of the stores have been bought and reopened by Fopp. You know, I wonder if they have a branch of stores that sell pornography. They could be called Fopp Fopp Fopp Fopp….
