cables

More years ago than I care to remember I started a collection that was going to take over part my life, it wasn't intentional, and looking back I had no idea that it would be possible to achieve , as the title implys it's cables , as I have a small USA audience I will explain at this point I don't mean telegrams , I mean the ones that come with every piece of electrical equipment we buy, from phones to the latest rechargeable drills, saws and screwdrivers, my first real entry into the spaghetti pile that is threatening to take over the garage was the cables from a commodore Vic 20 , I threw out the unit and even the hi tech datasette but not the cables, they wouldn't fit anything else I'm sure of that, so why I hear you ask keep them, Im not sure, could a cable angel be responsible  or the patron saint of computers st Isidore of Seville ( if the internet is to be believed ) (I looked that up ) , but that was the start, now I have them all, long ones , short ones, curly, straight and layered, black ones, yellow ones , and thanks to the iPad white ones, television, telephone, and tele porters ( I made the last one up) I have enough kettle leads to boil water for England ( why call it a kettle lead when we plug it into a printer) satellite cable, ariel cable, fridge cable,( I threw the fridge out why did I cut off the cable) well it ends today because when the all the cable companies read this they will get together and standardise the whole world to one cable NOT.
