2 core flex for lawnmowers????? Ugh!
In Schukjo countries there aren't any 2core extension cords any more, so people are simply forced to use a 3core cord with Schuko plug and trailing socket.
Still there are ugly stories about cut cords. The neighbour girl at my aunt's (guess she was about 14 back then) was mowing the lawn (probably lazy 'cause she didn't want the job) and cut right through the cord. My aunt said she flew right through the air from the shock. What I don't know though is how the current got into the handle of the mower, since they're usually plastic covered.
