Nice try. Of course if it is warmer in your country then that would make the trunking softer and thus less likely to twist.

So there must be some other explanation.

Maybe it really is just crap?

Either that or perhaps they dip it in whisky to passify it in the northern region

Your experiences seem to differ from mine and those of other posters.

If you can't see the difference, I suppose it won't worry you that it doesn't give as neat a finish as extruded trunking.

It would be very boring if everyone had the same experiences.

There is no difference.

Of course if both sorts are not installed properly then they will not look as neat. The ways in which they don't look as neat vary, but they both don't look neat.

Talking of the non-coiled trunking (16 and 25mm), how flexible is it? Will it bend enough to be transported in your 'average' car?

Yeah, but it does tend to retain some of its bendiness if it's left in there for a while.

Well what is an average car these days, Ford Ka - no, Ford Fiesta or Vauxhall Nova - probably not, Vauxhall Vectra - yes.

There is to me.

Repeatedly asserting that there is a difference to the finished appearance is not a convincing argument.

Denying that there is any difference, simply because you cannot see any, does not change the fact that I can.
