Not sure I will go into a wholesaler and ask for a Dark Sucker:eek:
 
The Dark-Sucker Theory
For years, it has been believed that electric bulbs emit light, but recent information has proven otherwise. Electric bulbs don't emit light; they suck dark. Thus, we call these bulbs Dark-Suckers.

The Dark-Sucker Theory and the existence of dark-suckers prove that dark has mass and is heavier than light.

First, the basis of the Dark-Sucker Theory is that electric bulbs suck dark. For example, take the Dark-Sucker in the room you are in. There is much less dark right next to it than there is elsewhere. The larger the Dark-Sucker, the greater its capacity to suck dark. Dark-Suckers in the parking lot have a much greater capacity to suck dark than the ones in this room.

As it is with all things, Dark-Suckers don't last forever. Once they are full of dark, they can no longer suck. This is proven by the dark spot on a full Dark-Sucker.

A candle is a primitive Dark-Sucker. A new candle has a white wick. You can see that after the first use, the wick turns black, representing all the dark that has been sucked into it. If you put a pencil next to the wick of an operating candle, it will turn black. This is because it got in the way of the dark flowing into the candle. One of the disadvantages of these primitive Dark-Suckers is their limited range.

There are also portable Dark-Suckers. In these, the bulbs can't handle all the dark by themselves and must be aided by a Dark Storage Unit. When the Dark Storage Unit is full, it must be either emptied or replaced before the portable Dark-Sucker can operate again.

Dark has mass. When dark goes into a Dark-Sucker, friction from the mass generates heat. Thus, it is not wise to touch an operating Dark-Sucker. Candles present a special problem as the mass must travel into a solid wick instead of through clear glass. This generates a great amount of heat and therefore it's not wise to touch an operating candle-type Dark-Sucker.

Also, dark is heavier than light. If you were to swim just below the surface of the lake, you would see a lot of light. If you were to slowly swim deeper and deeper, you would notice it getting darker and darker. When you get really deep, you would be in total darkness. This is because the heavier dark sinks to the bottom of the lake and the lighter light floats at the top. This is why it is called light.

Finally, we must prove that dark is faster than light. If you were to stand in a lit room in front of a closed, dark closet, and slowly opened the closet door, you would see the light slowly enter the closet. But since dark is so fast, you would not be able to see the dark leave the closet.

Next time you see what is called an electric bulb, remember that it is really a Dark-Sucker.

:D
I'll have some of what you are smoking....!

and intelligent dark suckers are now available. they suck dark all night long then, in the early dawn, when the birds sing, they vent the darkness into the sky, thus causing the sky to go dark after the sun has sunk into the atlantic due to the weight of darkness.

Tel, can I have a pint of what you've been drinking tonight ? :cool::)
 
Vulcanised indian rubber I believe. Old cable covered in rubber insulation topped off with a rubber outer sheath.

Over time the rubber dries out, gets cooked or whatever and becomes brittle. Once it's at that stage, you can crack it by moving the cables and it will just fall off.

Yes give that Lady a prize, horrible stuff. Remember it well during my early days as an Apprentice, TRS was another one TRS Tough Rubber Sheath I think it was.
 
..... Old cable covered in rubber insulation topped off with a rubber outer sheath....
( Thinking it was , but maybe my sample had past its sell by !)
Anyone old enough to remember if it was easier to strip than the grey T&E stuff!

Mr.kipling don't do bakewell slags?
Well if they do,they probably give them away to the local homless food bank !
