i'm looking to protect a cable from being trodden on. It has a weak
jacket.

What sort of cable? (Mains, speaker, phone, data....)

are you asking because of diameter? i'd like to know what to do with
the different situations, if it was a power cable vs if it was a data
cable.. i'd like to know the ifs like that.. And it's good for the
archives - surely.

It's an Ethernet cable / cat5e.
Therefore-
Data It has no power lines there, I think it's 8 wire, 4 aren't used,
the remaining four are 2 twisted pairs, one for transmit one for
receive.

I've seen some expensive cord covers , I don't want them.
AC power cords are really strong.. And not too thick.

They're still not designed for being trodden on.

no, only run over with a tractor

think again

I even used the right term, a googlable term. So the product would
come up !
That site also calls them
Cord Covers, Cable Ramps, Cable Protectors , Wire Covers e.t.c.

But as I said, I don't want expensive cord covers.. This idea is much
cheaper.

I am thinking of getting a - not sure what to call it - extension
reel? One of those AC extension leads that rolls up. Where can I get
one?

Tesco. B&Q. Argos. Homebase. Woolworths.

thanks, i'll give those a try

And there was me thinking it couldn't get any more vague and any mor
einto complete ******** by a troll territory.

Anybody can write what you wrote in response to any post.
You're a troll. What you wrote is rubbish e.t.c.

You said that you can't figure out what i'm on about.

If in all your thinking you can't figure out what i'm asking, and you
can't even put your finger on what it is you don't understand of what
I wrote, then maybe you should stop thinking. It doesn't seem to be
doing you or anybody else any good.

Thankfully, everybody here has understood me.

Somebody even defined the word shed for this context - which was also
something I was asking. I'm sorry if all this passes you by. I can't
do anything about that.

An ignoramous - an extreme case of somebody lacking information, can
be provided with information. But an illogical person, a person that
doesn't even understand what he doesn't understand, a person that says
something is rubbish but is unable to say why, or say anything of use,
then just repeats his lines in different guises, that person is about
as useful as an elephant in a small office. Or a worm in a restaurant.
You're like one that doesn't know how to ask, but you're on the other
side of the fence. You don't know how to answer. You don't even know
what it is that you don't know.. Your guage for not knowing, is you
read it and - for reasons unknown to you - it doesn't click.
