UKPN came out for a client as I suggested they have their supply upgraded to 100a.

My new tails are 25mm from the consumer side of the service double pole isolators.

What I can’t understand is that UKPN won’t upgrade the head because the tails which I cannot touch (between the bottom service isolator and service head) have not been upgraded?
This also includes the leg between meter and isolator

What they hell who changes there tails is UKPN won’t?

So what I've done in the past is had an engineer out and I've asked them to cut the seals so I can upgrade the tails. They've obliged and gone and sat in the van for 15 minutes while I do the work, then they come back, I always have them check tightness, re-install the fuse and re-seal.

My DNO is WPD and the engineers have always been very accommodating.
 
Hi - The jobs that do seem to go smoothly for me are when the DNO is also the energy supplier. Chap arrives, we do the necessary, job done. The Pot Noodle energy suppliers - not so much.

I'm sitting here humming the "gallery" tune but cannot for the life of me remember the program name.

It had Tony Hart in it, was it Hartbeat or or Take Hart or am I barking up the wrong tree?
