Not trying to be a rule Nazi etc., but be bloody careful using a double male cord. Make sure mains are off etc...
Not only for the rules, but for the ladies up the poles, and in subs, trying to get the power back on.
In plain English, you could electrocute and kill them.

Yep...Seen that one a couple times....Builders made their own double male plug lead and plugged it into the neighbours heatpoint then into a heatpoint on the building site so they could use their power tools, just about killed someone.
A mate was building a house in Cambodia also and wanted a back up gen, builder was the sparky also and wired a gen socket back to a breaker, no mains changeover so when mains come back on - boom.
