old multi-strand PVC cable

[1Justin]

OK We've done old white PVC red/black cable in my last post.

What's the opinion on the slightly older multi-strand cored cable. PVC insulated, grey, similar looking to modern stuff, but slightly fatter, imperial size I guess. (Red and black obviously). It seems OK.

Let's say it was part of a ring circuit being extended (so being brought up to 17th ed'n).

This isn't the crappy old rubber cable which we'd always replace.

How old is it? Is it generally OK to leave in if it seems in good nick and results are good?

the whole metric fiasco started with petrol. the oil companies changed to litres so as to try and fool us when they shoved the prices up. a 2p a litre increase don't look much, but when you work it out as 9p a gallon, that's a lot. it's almost 2 shillings in real money.

no code 4 now. and i would not code it anyway. this cable was installed when common sense prevailed over bureaucracy, and will still probably be ferrying electrons back and forth when you and me are converted to a few pounds of ash.

no probs tel.....i`m not keeping up with progress..lol....
