LOL
I think it must have been a farmer with a conscience? The SWA was buried at 2 inches - helpfully dug up by some pigs :)

You say that as if it's bad thing !!!
I say let them at it . Grave diggers still need work !
 
I would have used something a bit cheaper than a jubilee clip, whats wrong with tape?

In the voice of Yoda - Insulation Tape...an electrician it is like. Both a bright side and a dark side it has. Binds the electrical universe together it does!:D
 
i worked on a contract moving machinery at a major lighting manufacturer near doncaster about 40yr ago and they would not buy cable glands they insisted we used short pieces of conduit & 2 jubilee clips , unless we bought the glands at our cost
 
All i can say to that is, ...The Engineer in charge at that time wasn't worth a crust mate!!! And 40 years ago, would have been very unusual too!!!
