I don't. Though I was the one who found the fusebox in my house. And disconnected the washing machine.

To clarify
I have built a theremin, and supervised other people in doing the same. I'm reasonably competent with electrical stuff, particularly in guitars where I've occasionally had to solder replacement components into place. And, naturally, I'm a roaring, mincing, flappy-wristed, cock-gobbling utter fucking bender, about whom a simile to "a nine-bob note" is a gross understatement.

Wiring a plug is dead easy though
bLue to the Left bRown to the Right, green and yellow down the middle.

Note, if you are testing a fuse you have just replaced and haven't bothered putting the cover on DO NOT belive your mother when she says she has unplugged the extension lead. This is a lie so she can luagh when you fly across the room

Now is brown earth?
And why would you need to wire a plug?
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Thu 14 Apr 2011, 17:27, Reply)

For when you have a worktop with a small hole in it and you have to take the plug off to get the wire through to the socket which is located underneath
OR when you buy bizarre american stuff and put proper plugs on them. OR if the plug that was on there was so old it fell apart OR you accidentally ran it over with something heavy and need to replace it!

Also, no. Brown is not earth just because it is earth coloured

( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Thu 14 Apr 2011, 17:32, Reply)

brown is live, blue is neautral and yellow/green is earth
Older plugs have red, black and green wires though and I forget which way round they go..
( TGB checking Off Topic is still shit at, Thu 14 Apr 2011, 17:32, Reply)

Black should be neutral
