Not DIY, more of a rant.
They've been doing electricity work in our neighbourhood over the last few months and a few weeks ago someone came with a shovel and dug a hole in our garden to connect two cables together. After a few weeks with an exposed high voltage cable in our garden (with two kids running around) I had enough and called the council. They sent someone to fill the hole, but instead of our hole he somehow mistook it for the hole in our neighbours garden, that had already been filled, as in there is no hole, just the sign of a hole... that he tried to fill again and thereby created a small hill instead.
So, I call the council up again and they apologise and promise to send the guy out again. This morning he arrives, not with a shovel but with a big fucking tractor. Then he fills the already full hole for the 3rd time! It's now a slightly higher, but much bigger hill.
I'm lost for words.
