Yes.. I thought about that as well :)  But, after seeing the kind of 
mess that Yorkshire cable and other cable companies have made around 
Sheffield .. such as crushed bus shelters and part demolished houses 
.....  I don't think that I should encourage them to destroy anything 
else even though it may not be my own property.

Perhaps we should put civil engineering down as something of an 
experimental technology as well ?

Thanks
