Certainly did, 10mm. Builders had only buried a couple of inch down when erecting gates and fencing... It may have been my chisel whilst knocking off some post concrete rather than the spade, not sure. 
Yowsers, that sounds like it could have ended badly. Please don't do that again.

Sounds strange - the whole idea of armoured SWA is that you CANT just stick a spade through it!
And being buried a couple of inches down should be fine!
Thinking the same!?! Def SWA?
Yup....

- Application: Designed for use in mains supply electricity. These cables are provided with mechanical protection are therefore suitable for external use and direct burial.

Armoured doesn't mean it will stop everything. It's just a posh name for a degree of mechanical protection. I agree if you hit with a spade it will not normally penetrate. This looked like the corner of the spade has glanced the edge of the cable. Pierced the outer sheaf pushed the Armoir aside then pierced the inner sheaf and then the live conductor. A very skilful job lol. Good job the cable was protected by an RCD else this could of been a different story. All you budding moles be careful out there.
Was surprised myself... never thought this would have gone through (damage under the tape). Of all the wires to hit.... the brown one.

You use a jointing resin kit?
Yep, looked like a plastic encased black submarine. Did the trick though.
Aye Paul is good people, despite that disgusting piece of imagery in his bathroom
You doing a spot of gardening then?
Thanks @cooldan for a wicked night of pinball on your awesome collection.
Game of the night for me was POTC. Also loved sopranos. And the obvious TOTAN and MM.
Nice to catch up with @Calimori and @johnwhitfield and @skweek and a pleasure to meet Pavlov pinballs very own @Mfresh
Matt still whooped our butts with a slight distraction

Thanks Dan, great time yesterday. Got to put my name on 3 machines which is a good result for me. Loved the look on your face when Mr A strolled in and 1 game later took Grand Champion on your TOTAN.
Thanks for sorting it all out and sorry I scarpered earlier than planned but I had visions of being stranded in West London after those good people at Network rail decided to play more silly games with your station.
I can also confirm that your little dog is the hairiest on the planet (Which I would also like to clarify isn't a euphemism)
How's the hangover?

Aww gutted I couldn't make it. Me coughing myself to death on Dan's floor would have been an inconvenience for everyone. Next time!
Thanks @cooldan for an excellent afternoon of pinball, pizza and talking pinball ********. Carlsberg don't do living rooms, but if they did....
Great photos btw @Gaz Shiells

Indeed, great fun. Good to see a living room sacrificed to pinball. Once the rabble the room to us four, we got a good few hours on each machine.
POTC impressed me, it will be added to my want list.
I will arrange one at mine.
