Do what the pikies do and set fire to it?

I had heard of people burning it before. What do you do: dowse it in
petrol and stand well back?

I bet it's quite black and smoky, is it?

Yes, and you'll get a crap price for it if taken to a scrappie in that
state, as it'll be black with plastic bits still stuck to it.
What you do is heat it up enough for the insulation to start getting
soft, then with gloves on, it is really easy to pull out the wire by
grabbing the end with pliers.
