How long does it take an electrical contractor to switch on a streetlight? Five years according to an account of one Council's lamp-post predicament in Glagow's Evening Times.
A sets of streetlights in Milton have finally been switched on – five years after they were installed. Workers installed the new lighting but the firm went bust before they were lit. As the old lamp-posts were never removed, only the local dogs have benefited from the five-year debacle.
