You had to go and spoil it by mentioning the pipe monkeys didn't you
By the way does anyone know what PTFE stands for?
A pipe monkey tried to tell me it was polytetroflouroethelene
I reckon it's Plumber's Tape For Ends

Do you mean that I should not have used choc blocks to repair the SWA I cut with the hedge trimmer?

Sorry KFH I was trying to be diplomatic, Choc blocks no, twisting together yes (as long as taped well).

It has to be a Morrisson's poly bag though, they're rated at IP44 so for unusually wet situations, use 2 of them because that'll give you IP88

I generally find that a Waitrose bag wound in layers with said tape usually provides the required IP rating I'm looking for.

Sorry, obviously I am not cut out to be a proper electrician. Must try harder. Though I did use a bit of baler twine to tie the cable to the fence, does that count?

No you are not cut out to be an electrician. Everyone knows that you nail the cable to the fence (center of the cable) so you earth the fence! God i can't believe how stupid people can be! Lol
