Wouldn't fancy mauling that around to much. At least taking it out you can chop it in to lengths. No sutch luck putting it in.

By 'Asathene' are you referring to HDPE?. If so, I've seen insulation creep under stress leading to S/C's

and guess what i came across last week original braided paper insulated cable from 1930's and guess what its still in use , cant do anything about it till the guys out of hospital bike crash , the elderly lady who lives in the house with the son has lost the plot , all she talks about is the war , so sad when i get in to do it ill gets some pics so watch this space

Nick, did you ever do this job, and did you get pics?

I like the paper wire - good for authentic English heritage installations. They like that kind of stuff even if it means there being a safety hazard :0

I've created my own imperial cable rating guide which I use when changing CUs. I attach it here for you all to use.

thanks matey

VIR was only designed to last 15 yearsbefore needing to be replaced so strictly speaking there should be NONE of it still in service today. PVC/PVC imperial was designed only to last 25 years before needing to be replaced, man! is this sad or what, why am I typing this crap?

I have no idea where you gleaned this information, but you couldn't be more wrong if you tried!! So yes it is crap!! lol!!
