Default Extension lead ruined by sunlight

Just a minor warning: I had an extension lead on my desktop, in a sunny
position. I've just thrown it out, as the plastic has crumbled away.
Potentially very dangerous, as the conductors were showing.


Doesn't even require sunlight. I had a couple of (probably 5YO) works
ones disintegrate and they lived in the bottom of boxes in a van - so
maybe just heat or cold.

Seems to be the cheap nasty ones from China.
