Yawn. Get a life, eh?

Huge - having a lead lying around under any circumstances with a 13 amp
plug on either end is madness. Unless you keep it in a locked cupboard
along with your shotgun, and treat it like that gun - never let it out of
your sight.

It's neither particularly expensive or difficult to fit a suitable
contractor that will isolate the incoming mains in event of a failure, and
route a generator output to the house via that. Then you can use
appropriate connectors of the right sex.
