Being blunt back then :-), I think this a very negative POV.

Good. It was meant to be and if I have put some warning into the poster's
mind, and he seeks professional advice and it saves just one person from
getting a shock, then good again.


There is nothing in principle that is that difficult about such a job,
certainly if you have some DIY electrical experience, as long as you
approach the job in sensible manner.

I feel that if the poster had some DIY electrical experience, he would not
have asked what cable to use.


It's certainly reasonable to come along to newsgroup to enquire about
suggestions as to the best way to approach such job, to help you decide
if you can should do the job/ and how to go about it.

I would have thought the poster would have said/asked "What have other
people done and what have they used?"


however, I'd suggest uk.d-i-y as better place for the question. As a
number of the denizens have professional as well has amateur electrical
experience.

I am 100% with you there :-)) possibly cross posting the original question
there as well.
