T&E is a PVC insulated and sheathed cable (or, these days, if you pay a bit more, an equivalent material to PVC that has no halogens, or has some fire resistance)
H05VV-F (general domestic appliance flex) is a PVC insulated and sheathed cable.
The sheath provides mechanical protection to the insulated conductors.
It's OK to use a PVC insulated and sheathed appliance flex (H05VV-F) on a lawnmower, although obviously the manufacturer would recommend an RCD.
There are situations where, obviously, we'd want more mechanical protection for a sheathed and insulated cable, but I think this short introduction to the uses of PVC sheathed cables helps in the “general case”.
