1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:04,880
Speaker 1: Jonesy and Amanda in the morning. This is the power pole.

2
00:00:04,920 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 2: The powerpole thing so foundry in Albert Streets, which is

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:12,240
Speaker 2: in Wickham in a suburb of Newcastle. There they wanted

4
00:00:12,280 --> 00:00:15,240
Speaker 2: to do some widening of the road, so they had

5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,760
Speaker 2: to move the powerpole. This is where Osgrid comes in.

6
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,120
Speaker 2: Osgrid have said them, sorry, we can't do that at

7
00:00:20,160 --> 00:00:23,959
Speaker 2: the moment because their union is put a ban on

8
00:00:24,079 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 2: working with live power. Tragically a worker was killed at

9
00:00:27,440 --> 00:00:28,200
Speaker 2: the start of the year.

10
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,080
Speaker 1: But osgrid is about power.

11
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:31,720
Speaker 2: Is that That's what I thought that would be like

12
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:34,479
Speaker 2: us saying, oh, we can't work because we've got Phil Collins.

13
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:37,320
Speaker 2: It just seems odd. If you're Grid, that's what you

14
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,640
Speaker 2: do anyway. So the councilor said, well we're doing these

15
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 2: roadworks and then Osgrid's moving the pole. What results is

16
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:47,480
Speaker 2: meme city now.

17
00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:52,000
Speaker 1: So the picture I saw was that the road has

18
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: been widened and now the power pole was pretty much

19
00:00:54,640 --> 00:00:55,720
Speaker 1: just in the middle of the road.

20
00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:00,280
Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, you're not driving anywhere in Newcastle, do you do?

21
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:01,400
Speaker 1: You have to drive around it?

22
00:01:01,680 --> 00:01:04,319
Speaker 3: That's what stupid. But that's stupid, that's.

23
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,000
Speaker 2: Stupid, stupid. But it looks great on pictures. So you're

24
00:01:07,040 --> 00:01:09,679
Speaker 2: not going to Newcastle. No why you got lost on

25
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,440
Speaker 2: the way to work this morning. I think you don't

26
00:01:11,440 --> 00:01:13,640
Speaker 2: need any more hazards like a pole in the middle

27
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 2: of the right. Leave me alone, Join the and Amanda

28
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:19,199
Speaker 2: in the morning.

29
00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: One tell you
