Walked past a Sky installer/repairer swearing away loudly, clearly a bit miffed, that the whomever had installed the dish had mounted it above waist height.

He weren't happy, and I couldn't help it, but I chuckled. Which annoyed him further

Had he neatly clipped the wire to the wall instead of just leaving it to dangle? Oh, well, was starting to sound too good to be true.

You joke about hem installer but I watched one the other day putting a dish up at a house over the road from me. He backed the an on the drive, put cones out round his work area, got the ladder out and laid it against the wall before promptly putting himself into his vi-vis and harness. This was hen promptly attached to the loose/standing ladder and he put hebdish up. Every time he had to come down to do something he had to unhook himself and reattach before going back up.

Best thing was, the dish was littlerally 10 foot in the air and just out of hand reach above the downstairs window 😅😅

Probably had been tipped off his manager was on the way to do a safety inspection.

That was the only time I used to put on a hardhat, or tie the ladder...

But if he had fallen, all he would have done is pull the ladder on top of himself as the ladder was not tied to anything.

[Doctor Gollum]

Who pays for that and the subsequent repair?

All ya need is a set of skyhooks

I saw a Sky fella up a ladder a while back, and he'd drilled a big hole in the side of the house so he could screw a hook in to tie the ladder too!    I wouldn't have been very impressed if it was my house, Elf n Safety or no bloody Elf n Safety!

You (the hypothetical you) wanted Sky so.. you do. If you don't want it done then .. you don't get Sky.

I wonder if the liability is in the small print...

Hypothetically...

How did he get up there to drill the hole? Cherry picker?

No it was about 5 feet up, so he had his cake and ate it!

Maybe he was afraid of heights?
