    the hardest i find is plastics even with Radar.occasionally i get issues with some phone lines, and some Hv cables can be a bugger at times due to them being well balanced
    but by far the most difficult to find is my sodding pay rise

    The notoriously infamous pay raise is the rarest and most beautiful of god's precious creatures on this island earth.

    I only located gas, so I always hated Plastic Insert. There's no way to tone it, since we don't know where the insert started to drop on the steel part. Our policy was to read the measurements to the main. If the data shows 40' to the main, but the tape measure goes 35', we had to mark it in a 'V' shape, which is ignorant because there's almost 0 chance it was run that way. I had a damage where if I marked it directly across the road, it would have been wrong, or if I marked it in the 'V', it still would have been wrong. Thankfully they dug before they were supposed to, so I was covered.

    I also hated a plastic bypassing a steel main with no wire/measurements.

    As far as the raise is concerned, I found out after I left that if I had stuck around, I would've gotten a 10% raise.
