The Landy Guy:
last week i was working at a new housing development site in Telford,

me and a work mate were putting in some new gates and i was digging the post holes!

I started to dig a hole out by the garden wall, with the grafta when i got a spark and a burst of flames come out from the hole!

I had hit a mains cable!!! 240v!!!!

The site manager told us there were no cables anyware near where were digging! The company i work for took them to court and claimed 2k, for miss instruction!!

BigSi:
Were you wearing rubber boots!!!!  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:

The Landy Guy:
luckly yeah i had a nice thick rubber sole on my steel toe caps!!!  :P

lambert:
Just for interest why did you feel obliged to claim compo? No harm no foul?

The Landy Guy:
it wasnt me that made the claim!

The company i work for made the claim.

Edited!
