    Very poor transformer locations and protection...

     

    Over half a century back I used to work on electricity mains supply in London, all high voltage cables were buried a yard underground feeding substation buildings. The low voltage cables came out of them at a depth of about 18 inches to feed the area.

     

    These buildings housed the huge transformers, not the mickey mouse ones you see here dangling from a post here.

    Folk may not of noticed these buildings, they were usually tucked away. Here's an old one. They did become like bomb shelters in construction, a roof of 12 inches of concrete to contain any explosion...

    This is why it was rare for an outage, even 50+ years back...

    Same in Oz but what I see here is they seem to want everyone in this village to have their own baby transformer at some ridiculous price

    Yes I have heard things vary from office to office, i.e. never had to get one in 3 years, then all of a sudden, needed it, suffice to say every year things change with them handing me paperwork back that was required the year before.

    Same here the first 7 years just a copy of the marriage certificate then last year needed a updated Marriage Certificate oh and the bedroom photos  and the Map page they supplied that was headed Map seems every time they think up something new !

    Would be interested to know if the chief has ever jumped out of an aircraft as he has para wings embroidered  above the DSI badge on his uniform it’s like every Monday government workers dressed in uniform full of medal ribbons and gold braiding it creases me up 

    From conversing with many police very few have jumped out of an aircraft to acquire their wings and as for the ribbons there are many to choose from in the uniform and police shops for anyone to purchase seems noone seems to ever questions ones bling
