And this proves what? Other than cables need to be up to the job?

It wasn't intended to prove anything, just a light hearted answer to
your question: "Why would anyone use standard jump leads".

Not much point in giving light hearted answers to Kitty's ****e - he has
the sense of humour of an Iyatolla. But not so pretty.

Then they're not 'super heavy duty' enough. Or does the cable twixt
battery and starter routinely melt on such vehicles?

Tell that to Boss Skinflint.

Not really an answer to the point.

No, they don't melt. Dunno why, maybe they are made from high end
loudspeaker cable.

The amount of overload to melt decent quality 'ordinary' jump leads - like
the 25mm² ones I'd had for ages would be rare. They've jump started a 100
Kva diesel generator off an ordinary car's battery. And of course most
trucks are 24 volts so the current is halved. But it depends on length.
Hardly rocket science.

A little wooden filing cabinet under the table I'm using right now - here's
a photo of it:

(Actually, it's a photo of a photocopy of it - I've no idea where the
original is and yes, that was a joke about the filing cabinet...!! ;-)

Oh wow!, 5 days tuition, plus one of revision and one of exams. Seven whole
days from start to finish, that's *real* professionalism that is!

When you get a little older you'll come to realise that the words
'profession' and 'professional' are pretty meaningless these days. Even that
CPC course doesn't now seem to require the weeks of reading notes received
in the post before the week's residential, that I had to do!

taken by Paul Messenger as showing that Russ's claims re some of his
products are "now supported by proper scientific analysis".

What made me really laugh was that it was not until *after* the ASA
ruling that they actually conducted any tests to see if their products
worked [quote] when used with hi-fi equipment [unquote]
