Reference the aluminium cables, GPO/BT used a lot of aluminium cables in the mid to late 70’s because of copper shortages & subsequent price rises. It was a disaster, caused no end of problems due to corrosion, bad connections & breakage. They soon went back to using copper, I wouldn’t be surprised if there is some ally still in the ground festering away.
