In many cases, builders, contractors, or property owners install domestic connections, The asset owner may not have done the actual installation. Misplaced or missing marker posts or relying on old measurements being exact, which people tend to do, is hazardous therefore, in most cases, measurements for depths/alignments are not supplied by asset owners.
Asset owners do not have ongoing visibility or control of the environment around their assets, so they do not know if changes have occurred. Also, misrepresenting property boundaries may occur, e.g., fences may not be in the correct alignment. For example, some underground assets were installed 30 years ago or longer since then, surface levels could have changed up or down due to floods, agricultural practices etc.

Sweeping strings and sounds from the natural world speak beautifully to the film’s British setting, with melancholy moments on the piano painting a picture of nostalgia for pre-war times and moments of wonder and discovery amplified by driving timpani lines. It embraces moments of silence and does not dominate, rather providing a melodious support for the film’s outstanding acting and script, and breathtaking Suffolk landscapes.
