We moved to this house last spring and have finally turned our attention to the
garden. Whilst clearing weeds and debris I came across two electric cables near
to the fence. When I asked my neighbour about them he said that they were the
power supply to his two sheds. I suggested he put them his side of the fence
but he replied that surely it wouldn't matter to me if he left them where they
were. I've now asked him several times but he just shrugs his shoulders.
Unfortunately, there's not enough slack to just throw them over. My question
(finally) is, could I cut through one of the cables (accidently of course) with
a wooden shafted spade without electrocuting myself.

Much easier to get a sparkie that likes to work live and get him to tap into
the line and provide you with some free electricity.. after all its on your
land... :-))

I had the feeling that somebody was :-)
I think Jenny is resting on her laurels.
I hope her greenhouse in the sky hasn't blown away in today's gale.
It's been up to force 11.
