You are so selfish that your only thought is that I was complaining. I
wasn't. I was warning other people on this NG that there's a potential
problem that could lead to an electric shock or fire, possibly.

There's a clue in the OP that ought to have penetrated your self-centred
brain, where I say: "Just a minor warning:".

And, yes, of course, I've thrown the extension lead away, and next time
I buy one it will be a better make. However cheap the original lead was,
it doesn't excuse it being hazardous.

Why do people need to be warned to throw things away when they fall apart?

It said, "You have been connected to the correct department on the first try. This is against company policy. Please hang up and redial."
