Looked out of the window yesterday and there were men floating in the air along the electricity lines. Not a clue what they were doing but you wouldn't get me up there for all the tea in China!

It looks like they are checking the anti-vibration devices, thos dumbell things at each end of a cable run.  On the television I've seen american "wire workers" hanging off the side of a helicopter and earthing the charge with a stick!

Better on Terra firma, the more firma the less terra.

It's very odd to look out and see people apparently floating past in the distance. I used the zoom on the camera for the photo, btw.

Hello they're checking the porcelain resistors for cracks and breakages  an old man I use to work for use to do that job but he used ladders to climb the pylon and lanyard to walk the high voltage cables ,the cables were unearthed to a wagon with a probe in the ground there was twinkling twinkle little star playing in the wagon if this stopped the earth was broken and he stood still till the earth was re established he was paid good money he drove a mini during the week and a Rolls Royce  Silver ghost at the week ends  jezza

Probably not a good time for one of them to say to another "Hey Bob, pass me a spanner..."
