When I worked in the Council\' Street Lighting Section, we had to deal with Northern Electric on a daily basis.
A few years ago, they set up a squad of electrical jointers to deal with emergencies....such as lampposts damaged in traffic accidents, snapped overhead cables, etc......Their official title was the \"Fast Action Response Team\".......I often had to ring up and ask for the FARTS !!!!
Another one, (which I heard about on the local news a few years ago), was to do with the setting up of a team of expert fire investigators, drawn from the Tyne & Wear Fire Brigade........they WEREe to be called the Tyne & Wear Arson Taskforce........I\'m glad I never had to ring and ask for them.......lol......I think the name was slightly amended before the team was officially set up.
