Another one that people dont think about ( cos they were designed to just work ) are the sewers.
Many in some areas are apparently getting close to limits at times.
But one more interesting thing i heard on the radio this morning is that the average age of local linesmen is now getting into the mid 50s.
Since privatisation, the qty of apprentices being trained in all the required areas has dropped through the floorboards.
The old SECV had the commercial mass and social obligation to take on and fully train thousands of apprentices each year.
Very few companies working for profit these days want to take on even one apprentice and cant train them in all aspects of the system.
I guess thats why we have 457 visas
