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?
(, 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

You see this is why I am no good with electronics.

Yeah, except that it's changed again
but I can't remember what the new colours are.

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..

Those changes are fucking irritating!
Red should be live
Black should be neutral
Brown earth

This makes the most sense

When you stand on the plug of your hair straighteners
in a pair of new rocks whilst getting ready to go out clubbing. That was a panicky 15 minutes, especially since I'd already been drinking for two hours at that point.
