I thought all the idiots on the NG were taken up by Brexit.

The PAT test for extension leads comprises:
Test insulation resistance and polarity.
Visual check.

Anyone could do that, except possibly a remainer idiot.

The initial question should have made it abundantly clear the bloke
was clueless.

Anyone cannot do it, there is a C&G course to train people to do it
and they still get it wrong.

Your "advice" is just typical of the gormless idiots infesting this NG
that are clueless about a subject, google a few words and then try to
impress the poor recipient with their astounding knowledge.

"If you can be bothered" and safety are mutually exclusive terms.
