Back in the 1950s when I was at primary school we lived in a house on an unmade road when a gang from the electricity board came along and dug a hole did what they had to do and left. After a couple of months another gang turned up and started digging all over the road and as it wasn't tarmacked there was no evidence of where the first gang dug the hole, I asked them what they were looking for and was told to clear off. Father saw this and asked them what they were up to, we're looking for the work the first gang did was the reply. Father called me over and said David tell them where to dig and I showed them where to dig well away from there efforts and sure enough I was spot on. Father couldn't resist having a go at them.
