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.
This was discussed here months ago. I think that the poster was
dennis@home or something.
Was "Chris B" - Multi socket extension lead - interesting failure mode

It was suggested that some heavy object had fallen onto his
extension lead. He posted a dropbox video of the crumbling plastic
and his fingers removing little bits of plastic.
I stand corrected.
Well done Sir.
