I've posted this a few times and this is at a mates house following a kitchen refirb several yrs ago. mg_smile:

Otherwise neat board, but just let it down by not tightening anything up.

A couple of bites through the sheath though also marks from i presume metal pliers.

Ps i do like the lasertip drivers.

Yeah I clocked that but as the switch is going to be replaced I’ll just re-terminate it properly.

The drivers are Wera. I also have Wiha ones but not lasertip.

A pack of cable ties always come in handy, though.

Ahhh, but they are probably special quality cable ties.

Luckily my task was disconnecting this container supply so it could be emptied and sold.

Those look like Openreach cables and associated junction boxes.

I tried very hard just once to report a telephone pole connection that had fallen off a bracket and was hanging by its cables, the amount of detain they wanted made me loose the will to live, it was obvious the operator was not interested in taking the details and solving the potential problem, not that I could understand most of what they where speaking.

It's nigh on impossible to report any telecoms issue, unless you are a customer and can demonstrate an issue with your service.

I tried umpteen times to have Openreach fix cables that had been pulled to the ground by a fallen tree, resulting in a junction box lying open to the elements and cables being driven over by farm machinery. Those cables lay in a field for three full years, before we finally lost internet connection and they promptly arrived to investgate. The engineer who attended seemed unsurprised that no one wanted to know.

Unless you have a daughter that works for BT in the appropriate department!

'Friends in the right places' can resove many situations, but for most people that isn't an option. The point I was reinforcing is that it is basically impossible to have openreach resolve any issue with their network, unless a demonstrable fault exists that affects your own service.

Happily, I have a daughter who works in digital media and who has a knack of finding "direct" routes to those who matter. Finding a CEOs direct email and a threat of social media exposure means that many problems suddenly get attended to, but of course this should not be required.
Basically, it's blackmail!
Works really well...
