I presume we'll be getting an LED job when they get round to fixing it...

Well they came to fix the light today, first they went to the wrong lamp post, when I showed them the light that was actually bust (that is up a footpath) they said "ooh we can't get the cherry picker truck up there" & phoned their office. They then said "we're not allowed to climb ladders anymore because of H&S, another crew will have to come out & put a whole new lamp post in." I asked if the new light will be an LED? He said "yes it will be as we haven't got any sodium bulbs any more, all new & replacement streetlights will be LED from now on." Of course he didn't know when they'll be coming to sort it out, so it'll still be a bit dark out the front...
