strung together this:

I had to pull a
couple of grey twin-and-earth mains cables plus three 4-core alarm cables
through a long length of flexible conduit.

Oh dear oh dear, that's a failure for a start.

Not at all. I said it was alarm cable - I did not say it was used for an
alarm! (It isn't.)

I do recall terrible problems many years ago when petrol pump signal cables
were run in the same conduit as the motor power cables, but that's another
story... :-)
