    In Sligo town every single ESB manhole cover has a white C painted on them!

    not just one or two, but every one of them!!!!

    and its not just the town, in my estate and surrounding area on the outskirts of town, C's are on every cover!

    anyone else notice this, and got any inklings on what they're for?

    It is on the Telecom Eireann Manholes. The ESB network in the west does not generally use manholes they use a device called a minipillar which is the grey / green / galvanised small steel cabinet that can be built into walls.

    Still I can't help with the C

    If I was a nasty person, I could suggest it means they are a crowd of 'C***s' ... but then again, I'm not a nasty person :D

    Well, I'll be a nasty person and think that your suggestion is indeed correct! :D

    It could be a grading system for the copper wires under the manholes.

    With G being Great, A being Average, and C being C**p! :D
