Knowing the problem of heat being generated by running power through the cable while on a drum, I have attempted to devise a better storage.
I feel sure that others will have devised better ideas than mine and would be interested in hearing of or seeing their ideas.

I started with 2 x 25m leads. I converted them to 1 x 25m, 1 x 15m and 1 x 10m.
Now (I did this many years ago!) I virtually always have the correct length without coils in the lead.
Plus up to 50m if required.
PS. For storage I coil them around my arm and secure them with a short piece of material which doesn't slip.

I try and state simple facts in a nice way.

perfect, I. did the same, only slight down side is a wet plug/socket halfway across the grass.
I did buy a protector but a plastic bag with a hole in the bottom to pass the connector through is watertight
You been at the sherry trifle already Ted!!
A plastic bag with a hole in the bottom . . . watertight!
I know what you mean of course (but couldn't resist taking the Mick ). A while ago someone posted on here an inexpensive "snaplock" type plastic box which was made for the purpose, and that really was watertight.
Could be very useful if you need to join shorter lengths of cable to reach the bollard - it was big enough to accommodate the standard blue Euro-plug and socket, and claimed to be perfectly safe even in the soggiest of weather. (I can't find it though! Maybe someone elase will have more luck!)
I'm sure I saw a cable winder at Aldi/Lidl recently, orange and cheap, but I just wind around elbow and hand, twice around with the trailing end and pass through to keep it all neat and tidy.
