    Haha sorry for any confusion with those imagining a telephone pole! It may be a little post but it is still annoying!

    I'm not sure of the suggestion to drive over it - I don't want to damage my car :o

    Well it is not a drop kerb so is not a driveway, and I imagine before the block paving was done it was on the pavement.

    You will need to speak to BT but moving this won't come cheap and they could refuse to move it and might actually claim it is already damaged.

    Valli, really? :rotfl: I've no idea what Future Walk means, but feel free to elaborate!

    Hintza, so they can refuse as it is not a dropped kerb? To me it just seems so strange! It's on my driveway, it's blocking my way, therefore why should I need to pay to remove it? Maybe I'm a bit backward :rotfl::o

    I shall make enquiries :)

    Good point.


    There might be too much stuff in your boot to take her.

    I think you might have issues with BT in that there is an inspection cover for a BT box in the pavement next to the jointing post. They are not very strong and easily damaged. BT probably won't want you driving over it and at present, the post is preventing that.
