Flexible conduit

Just seen some flexible polypropylene conduit on Toolstation (sorry):

I was wondering if this stuff could be used as the conduit for conduit wiring using 6491X singles?

In particular I was thinking not just a little bit, but making the majority of an installation run through such conduit.

One idea was to run all the mains cabling inside black conduit, and all the data cabling inside white conduit. Keep the black and the white 100mm apart (or crossing at right angles) and Bob should be one's uncle?

Also, I see that Screwfix (sorry) carries flexible PVC coated galvanised steel conduit:

I was wondering if this stuff could be used for conduit wiring where mechanical protection is required?

Thank-you for coming back on that one.

Did you mean that flexible conduit is a nightmare, or any conduit?

Flexible conduit is used a lot in France, if you post a Q in Electrics Ex UK you may find someone who likes it.
