    Lots of lead coated copper still in the ground.We used to get out what we could and cut it into metre long sticks.
    Pre 92 it was approx £3 per stick for 100pr.Probably alot more now.

    Like you said there is a fortune , but they don't even think about it . I remember Redbridge yard ( Southampton ) and then Nursling used to have CAGES FULL of recovered cable !

    Now like you say it's just left there .

    You wait , some young whizz Kid will come up with the idea of a cable recovery system . Who'd have ever thought of that <doh>

    And they'll get a bonus and a Pat on the back :steam:

    Yes I have, just up from the bowl shaped cricket ground, isn't it?

    I love Ventnor, it puts me in mind of those little seaside towns, you see down the Atlantic coast in France.

    Did the check last night, BT cable now fully operational in my area (they weren't last time I checked).

    One of the first jobs when this is over, **** Virgin media right off.

    Will be done with pleasure.

    There was a lead Junction cable on an Ariel route .

    Every 2 or 3 months the Gippos would cut sections down .

    Not sure who made more . Them from the cable they sold , as you say Lead and Copper , or the cable gangs / Jointers who put it back up on Overtime :emoticon-0136-giggl

    Just to redress the balance; even though their coffee is rank, Costas didn't hesitate to retain all their staff on full wages, for an initial period 8 weeks. I'll be keeping a close eye on what they do if the lockdown goes on longer than that, but for now a good start.

    The storm of 87 . The Cable gangs and Pressure jointers( In Particular ) earned SERIOUS money . On more than one occasion they slept in their vans .
