Crossed wires

Today the electric man cometh to have a look at the cats cradle of electricity cables around the back of our house.
The other week the scaffolder (via Doffy's house) came to look at where we needed some scaffolding putting so the chimney could be repaired but said because of low flying ancient cables he couldn't oblige.
Our house is part of an old manor house which was divided up into five homes in the 1950's by some very dodgy builders hence the problem now, the electric man from Manweb is sending in a team to sort it all out in the distant future.
