Hi

A UK perspective...

When is it considered "Leaning Too Much" ,

When it is at 45 degrees often enough! Not usually of great concern unless conductors get out of line or it leans over something that matters!!

Was the Pole set up with the leaning situation known,

Sometimes yes! On 'turners' ( corners in the line ) especially, once the lines are up the stays should be able to straighten things up with a spanner. If not...oh well tough!

What is the main cause of the "Lean Phenomina",

Soft ground, 'turning' ( lines not through dead straight ), bad struts - bad night before for the pole crew!

Does anyone else notice this stuff besides me.

Yes - and it annoys the hell out of me! SOmething as obvious as that seems not to matter to most - but I can imagine the gip I would get if I stuch a service board up in a house on the same jaunty angle!!
