Default Extension cable loosing flexibility

Is that the blue stuff? I've got a couple of leads fitted with blue
cable & it does seem more flexible.


Just bought a Masterplug "heavy duty" 10m single socket extension
from B&Q. It is a nice soft flexable cable, though I haven't left it
outside yet. Hum, it's just on freezing I'll leave it in one of the
proches tonight...

I don't think it is "arctic" cable all it has stamped on it is:

"3C1.25mm^2 BS6500 MASTERPLUG"

What does that BS number mean?
