Wi-re cables so hard to untangle?

Mr M had recently moved and needed a hand sorting out some boxes, which contained quite a range of electronics bits and bobs! Luckily he was on hand to identify everything, as it quickly became clear that we couldn't tell our scarts from our coaxials. Naturally, the wires had done what they do best when left to their own devices (!), twisting together and generally running wild. With a bit of patience, however, we manage to loop them into submission, leaving the boxes a bit tidier and ready to go into storage.
