  • You need one of these  50m lead from argos  

    Or for those with a toolbox and some knowledge, as I suspect many of us have done, a socket on the end of a roll of whatever was in 'stock' at the time and sprintl down the garden unreeling  a 100m roll of  twin and earth or something. We know its not permanent and should be rolled up and hidden once "mischief managed".


    One of the most 'power of opportunity' things I have ever done was to use two 'singles'  made from  all 3 cores of some inadequate flex in parallel to get L and N  to a welder in a silly place.

    As someone  I know well once remarked, if a  little knowledge may be a dangerous thing ,  perhaps a lot of it can be more so..
