3. Have some sort of brain seizure and fit the plug top to a roll

Does the 1.5mm refer to the overall diameter of the flex, the
diameter of each core including insulation, or the diameter of each
core excluding insulation.

You contribute to this group and think mains flex with an overall
diameter of 1.5mm exists? The sort of thing an electrician would
carry in his van? And really don't understand what 1.5mm refers to
with cable?

No wonder you are a Tory. Just the sort of thing I'd expect from
Boris.

The sort of response I would expect from a know it all, labour
supporting remainer to a simple question.

You could simply have said, "the diameter of each core excluding
insulation" but choose to score points instead. Why aren't I
surprised.

Not much of an explanation from you. And conductor size isn't measured
by diameter. 1.5mm refers to the area.

That was already established and accepted.

But then partial explanations are the sign of a true Brexiteer. Let
others guess the truth.

A true Brexiter will listen to the truth and amend accordingly.

A labour supporter remainer will resort to ridicule rather than answer a
simple question.[1]


[1] Assuming they knew the answer of course.

It was George Orwell (no less - a one-time darling of the Left) who said
that if they can't fault the reasoning in your opinion, they'll find
fault with the *style* it was expressed in. Which is precisely what
happened to Boris last week with his "suicide vest" article.
