Tell you one thing, Paul, over here, a couple of months ago, it snowed, some places up-country from here recieved 4 foot of the white stuff, people didn't complain, we had a real task changing poles that had snapped off, putting lines back up, I think I actually got 10 hours sleep over the time it took to get everybody up and running again.
Line Mechanics the world over, are sadly under-rated, its really hard yakka, even with hydraulic lifting gear.
