I've seen cable with this branding marked on it in quite a few homes too!

Heard about this ages ago 2.5= 2.1 1.0=0.8 etc fucking deadly

And they decided not to recall it. Tho how the fuck you'd ever trace it and work out where it was........ And then imagine the costs involved in doing so - another rewire for some people, which would have to include redecoration. I've seen this in loads of places, one of the discount wholesalers near here used to carry it. There's a reason I use Prysmian / Doncaster cables!

That cable is a real big ole death trap
