I'm an ex linesman and some of my old work mates are still on the tools they've sent me images and videos of the damage to the network and its some of the worst I've seen from any storm in the past 30 years.

I bet the CEO will be awarding himself/herself a big increase in salary this new year as well.

Aahh I see Amey are the sub contractors that explains it then

It actually came on a few minutes after I typed my update. 73 hours ....

Still know some folk who are looking at Friday before they're reconnected...Not good!

10,000 homes still without power 8 days after the storm. Incredible. They don't expect everyone to have their power back until midweek.
