   Bell wire is a twisted pair of plastic coated usually solid copper wire of
   about 18 or 20 gauge for low voltage use. At one time it was a standard
   hardware store item provided for hooking up a door bell. One needed to run
   the wires from the battery or transformer and bell to the button at the
   door. 

   Wired doorbells, and the bell wire to hook them up, have faded from the
   shelves...

   It's "speaker wire" over here, too.  I've never heard the term "Bell wire" 
   before.

   Do you really fish for roaches in the UK?
