    Thanks. I have goggles. Will point it out to Plusnet/open reach. Am presuming nothing is live there. Goes into ground by the looks and a cable is cut. But won't touch.

    You could have unscrewed the cable(s) at the block - They shouldn't be done up particularly tight.

    Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

    Undo the two screws holding the plate on the wall and drop it in the bin along with the plastic cover lying on the ground.

    General observation - The ground level should ideally be another brick lower than it currently is. That would reduce rain splatter soaking the wall above the DPC.

    Before binning it, check the condition of the wall behind where it appears a cable hole has been drilled through the wall. If there is a dirty great hole with ugly spalling of the brick, then refix the grey plastic cover onto the backplate so nobody will see the mess.
