It's a right b!tch to strip though. 

Imagine cold swa, well  it's worse than that on a good day.

Ever tried stripping DNO concentric? The outer sheath is as tough as old boots.

Been using some 10mm solid core NYYJ to terminate into header bars, its horrible!

In the snow we were keeping it in the office next to the heater and it was still a ***** to terminate.

Now there's a phrase I never fully understood, as I thought 'New boots' are stronger more robust and tougher than old boots which are generally more susceptible to falling apart?

Back in the day we had to run conduit into a block of flats for BT, 1 run per flat

i had the brainwave of buying it 'on a roll'........think big plastic slinky

we tried putting it in a 50 gal drum of water that we heated up on a big fire, took it down the road to a customers and sat it on their boiler,......total,waste of time . As far as I recall it was still in the boiler room when site got demolished
