you could do, but its more fragile and breaks easier

You could also use 6mm SWA, or even 185. But yo wouldn't.

In short - use the correct stuff for the job!!!

Ye Gods...The lengths some people go to to try and prevent people tampering with the cable

Well, the armour sure beats a couple of cores for tamper, don't it?

Mind you, imagine running SWA round the house........do they do it in white????
