A collegue of mine, Nigel, had an interesting call yesterday:
I actually got a call from a guy reporting an O#### cable down in the area in the night.
The guy said "umm yeah some guy has run into a heap of stuff with a tanker and damaged some T**** mobile satelite dishes and knocked down some telegraph poles with an O#### cable attached to it"....................
I thought he said "tanker" (like a truck or whatever) but what he really meant was "TANK" .................

Can we have a little less "Mad Max" and a bit more "'Crocodile' Dundee"?
On second thought, cancel that request.
