Now you see them - now you don’t!
July 8th, 2010
Dear All,
It gives me ENORMOUS pleasure in informing you all, that the Panorama Pool Villas development is now:
cableless – wireless – lineless and poleless!!!
If there are any readers of this bulletin that are totally ‘clueless’ as to the reasons for our jubilation – then I am ‘speechless’.
They are gone! They are no more! They are deceased! They have expired!*
I am of course, referring to the overhead power lines - they have disappeared, along with the poles!
It has taken some time to fulfil the dream of not having cables strung across the horizon and obstructing our wonderful views.
Despite frustrating bureaucrats, seemingly endless red tape, and efforts by the ‘Preservation of Cables Worldwide Organisation’ to stop us, not to mention global warming and the FIFA World Cup 2010, we eventually had them (the cables) removed. (… a bit like England’s World Cup football team really - unappealing, useless, overrated, and subsequently, justifiably ousted).
Before you ask: YES! Of course there is an underground electrical supply to replace it.
Look below to see the ‘Before & After’ photographs (just in case there are some Doubting Thomases out there) … and NO, I have not been cheating with image editing software.)
Simply click on any one of the thumbnails to open a full sized photograph. Clicking on each photograph will advance you to the next one in a ‘Now you see – now you don’t’ sequence.
