Weird Green Stuff coming from T+E cable

[royster]

Got this strange situation in a mates house where green stuff is ouzing from the T+E cables on his ring main. House was built in 1970ish but the cable is of the plastic type and not the old 60's rubber insulation.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

It's probably this - http://tselectrical.com.au/page4.html

Post some pics as it's quite a rarity apparently

If you really want 'em, I can get some pictures of a DNO concentric cable which looked strangely green on saturday.

I don't particularly want them, others might though.

Thanks guys. I'll ask him to get some pics. Its quite nasty stuff as its appeared through the sockets and is stuck all over the pins of the plugs. Told him to get a spark in and be prepared for a rewire
