    A friend of mine was watching a workman take down an old telegraph pole and asked if he could have some insulators. Instead of removing them the workman cut off the entire top of the pole for him. Not wanting to separate the insulators from their fittings but having no room for the arm, my friend passed it on to me.
    Some of the older insulators are stamped GPO for General Post Office (I was told they were made by Doulton) and the later ones are marked P&T in black letters for Posts & Telegraphs.

      I have not been able to register a "Love it" for some time now, has anyone else had this problem?
    2. fortapache fortapache, 6 years ago
      I haven't had that problem but I know at least one other that has. Have you tried different browsers?
    3. Irishcollector. Irishcollector., 6 years ago
      Yes but no difference.

      Hi Irishcollector: Most people who are having this problem are using Internet Explorer, which Microsoft stopped supporting in Jan of 2016. We stopped supporting it late last year. Firefox and Chrome work fine, but if you have tried either of those browsers and the Love button still does not work for you, please send an email to customer support with the name and version of your operating system. Thanks!

      Many thanks for that info Ben. I can't actually remember which other browser I tried but I'll take your advice and try these.

      Thanks again Ben, I tried Chrome and I'm back in business. Thanks also to fortapache for taking the time to comment.

      Glad to hear Chrome worked!
