Identify this wire from 1960 semi-detached house

[Rocky786]

Hi All,

Just brought a 1960 semi-detached house, and the front bedroom has this wire running along the wall.



Does anybody know what it could be?

Electrics are still original 1960.

Ah yes jumped the gun, definitely not my place as all my recent alterations are in black and red.

This bloke that started the thread off must think he has signed up into some sort of online lunatic asylum. I bet that cables round his neck now.

It could be the Pyro tails from the other thread.

@ Rocky
Is the mystery round fitting about 6ft from the floor ?

I always find you got to be careful with the ginger, too much and it can be overpowering? I assume you mean root ginger, in the paste? I love a nice lamb curry, neck fillet is best I reckon.
Do you think we will ever find out about this cable?

Yep and not out of a jar. Root ginger & garlic mashed to a pulp, add a particular spice to a curry

I love knocking curry up from scratch, go through spells of it though.

Very therapeutic. Just remember which hand was handling the chillies!

Hand held switch used while in bed. In the fifties bedrooms it was common for a hand held switch to be dangling from a ceiling rose above the bed, so one could operate the ceiling light without getting up.

I think it's Fred Cable.

It's not Tony anyway, far too skinny.
