I bet that most of those cables don't have a meter connected between the power station and the user.

I wouldn't want to be the meter reader - I think it would be a dangerous job! :o

Although this is the guy I call at the Microsoft help desk!

dickyjoe if you look very very carefully you will see the blue seats are kids bikes hanging by the front wheel on the front of a shop...

those bits of india are real and will exist for at least another 20 years, however in the same cities you can find factories that make every manufacturing plant in Oz look like it's from the 1950's. If you are in manufacturing, time to find a new career or a new country to live, your job is on borrowed time.

we laugh at the foibles of our defenders now as they are built by 1940's tech and shedloads of manhours... give the Indians 3-5 years and the defender will be better than it ever was from the UK, cheaper and will actually fit together. It will probably be all steel, but it will at least not have gaps below the doors! I know you guys are having a laugh, but the tide has swung and the momentum of economic growth is NOT in the western world. It took Japan 30 years to build a decent car, Korea less than 10, Thailand about 5 years...

In the Phillippines they do have meters, as this photo proves ( Boracay Island ).

There's a bit of a story goes with this. We were staying in a place near here, in a hut with a thatched roof right by the beach. One lovely evening I was sitting drinking a cold beer on the verandah and heard a lot of sparking and smelt smoke, walked around to see the electrical junction box on the side of the hut in flames and the roof catching fire. We threw all our stuff out of the hut but luckily it went out. I walked up to reception to tell them. They had a great laugh and gave us beers on the house while they fixed it !
It's just the way life is - but I'd go back to Boracay anytime -great place.

I remember parts of Singapore looking like that about 30 years ago but look at it now.

I hear that's what the powerpoles look like in Blair Athol (http://www.smh.com.au/news/national/blair-athol-raid-no-8/2008/05/16/1210765108565.html), too.

:D:D:D
