On the back of a thread I started I thought I'd start this since there doesn't seem to be one and I'm sure we all have a right good few that would scare those in the know.

How many supplies does one need!

Cable Raggle Extra

Not so much Shame but old

Any idea of age?

Just this afternoon, in my wholesaler, a gentleman was buying 25 meters of flex to run a cable through a hosepipe down his garden.

Lord only knows what he was going to put on the end of it!

Maybe i take my hat off to him if he manages to thread 25m of flex through a flexible hose.... a task that aint gonna be as easy as he thinks

Camera installer drilled through this cable and 'fixed' it. "It's a permanently fixed cable to the homeowner" oh good no worries says the homeowner.

Bearing in mind this is a barn gutout and rebuild and hadn't even seen power at this point 3 weeks ago!!!
Luckily for me it was shown as I walked in a week later to finish off wiring, fuming wasn't the word.Was promptly replaced in 20min.
God knows what would have happened if the plasterers had covered it......
