With all the controversy over Western Power’s old wooden poles, and whether they have fallen and caused fires, it’s good to know that this pole in Forrestfield at least has been treated against termites. Well I should hope so. Seen by Shaun.

The Worst of Perth 
We had a pole like that outside our place – Western Power wouldn’t replace it – problem was solved by a “Merry” fellow coming from a wedding ceremony swerving across the road and knocking the pole down – unfortunately he also knocked a real big hole in the dence.
The pole was replaced that night.

I too have pole in a similarly whiteanted condition on the corner I live on.
Last weekend, a crew from Western Power had come not to replace this power pole that now resembles a vertical seven-metre Flake bar, but just the timber horizontal beam where the ceramic insulators that suspend the wires, for that had indeed split lengthwise in two, thus necessitating a midnight visit.
Mind you, where I live, the road kinks out of a dogleg and on the other side of the street, a pole has already succumbed to fate like Frank’s did (some young jerk in a riced-up Mitsubishi Lancer whose mods didn’t extend to brakes, suspension or steering). So there’s hope yet; so long as the car doesn’t get too far into the front yard nor the live wires come crashing onto the roof of me or my neighbours’ homes, for that’s about the only time that they do get replaced.
Underground power around my neck of the woods can’t come soon enough when it finally gets rolled out; might add some much-needed vibrancy and ooshta to my end of Morley!

I’d hate to see what the ‘A’ treatment does.

The sign should read: “These termites have been treated to a pole.”

I Agree Bento…although I thought it was treatment number 3.
One can only wonder what kind of three-headed puppies come from a dog sniffing that pole and going on to propagate.

You’re so negative Don. A dog cocking it’s leg may get super powers. Like an invisible willy or a dog donger that can shoot out spider webs or crush carbon into diamond.

Yes, but has it had the ‘Bobbi’ treatment?
Look like it would fall over with the slightest ‘shove.’
