There’s some very city-centric anti-car stuff, which I assume this comes from.

I’ve said before how far lots of people in small town Wales travel for work. Lots of people do shifts too. What exactly are the “active travel” alternatives? Surely the best solution for them is to use electric cars. But we just assume they all live in houses with drive ways, do we?

This is- for God’s sake- underground cabling, not some sort of utopian step into the dark. Amazed we even managed to put phone lines in with this attitude.

There's a Guardian BTLer who regularly boasts of his 'carbon-free' lifestyle and feels others should be forced to do the same; but it's very obvious he lives in a large city where he can easily achieve this.

I'm picturing something rather akin to the old fashioned parking meters at the curb side buried cables, how would they be a trip hazard?

Because Starmer.

No doubt if the gulleys had lift-up covers to put the cable in and protect it, some twat would leave them up though.

I know the one you mean, and quite like him. He lives and works in Oxford. I think his point is that a lot of people BTL could do like him, rather than that it's easy for everyone.
