I thought it might be- I'm more of a 20p/metre T&E type :-)  Even a few
years in pro audio makes a man very cynical...

Fair enough- conduit is a pig to actually put more than one thing in-
whatever size you use you end up wishing it was bigger, that even applies
with the 4x4" metal stuff... the only useful answer I've found is the
aquagel stuff I mentioned before- it can save man-days, and costs about the
same as a bottle of Fairy Liquid (which _doesn't_ do the same job, by the
way!)

A colleague said it's very similar to KY Jelly, but I haven't had the need
to test that :-)
