a little of subject i know but here is a funny one for ya, well not funny actually but....

there is a DSA is Leicester, on the corner of 2 streets and along side the wall of someones house. For some reason, no one is quite sure why, the chap who lives in this house has a grief against NTL and this DSA. A few years ago, a tech was working in the DSA and the chap from the house came out and booted the tech in the back, he fell into the DSA and broke his wrist in the ducting at the bottom, the bloke then carried on attacking this tech, the only thing the tech had to defend himself with was his krone tool, so not to put too finer a point on it, he swung this krone tool in the general direction of the bloke and ended up stabbing him in the back of the head with it. Not to sure what happened legal wise after that but the story continues.

This bloke has carried on vandalising this DSA for years now, and there is now a padlock on the DSA, and everytime a tech needs to get into the DSA, the bolt croppers have to be get from the local NTL office, the padlock cut off, the work done and a new padlock put on the DSA, and normally within 24 hours of someone been to the DSA and a new padlock put on it has been painted over with hammerite or some such substance again a new lock is required.

I have been out to this DSA a few times to cut the damn padlock off, and wouldnt let a tech go to it on their own.

Some of the details maybe slightly wrong with the story but that is how it was told to me.

Crazy aint it.
