No 2. Just fixed the next door neighbours hedge trimmers after he
cut through the flex.
Me "These look brand new and as if they have never cut a hedge in
their life"
Ray "They haven't, I bought it yesterday and plugged it in a
kitchen socket to see if it worked. I just forgot to remove the
flex that was wrapped around the blade before I switched it on."
I managed to do that while cutting a hedge. It was actually a blessing
in disguise as I put a connector on teh two ends and now the trimmer
has a short lead and we separate bundle of cable. Much easier to store.
I hope you have the gender of the connector right!
My neighbour did the same trick to his Flymo shortening the cable
somewhat and had made himself a Jesus lead with a plug on each end.
Hopefully even ARW's apprentices are not quite *that* thick.
Trust me they are.

Vertically ?
He would have no idea what vertically meant.
