I'm having a clear out.
Do I need to keep boxes for all the electrical equipment I own? I'm sure that I do because my dad once told me to, but I'm not sure why.

Also, eBay won't let me sell my iPod charger. I can't use it because the touch isn't firewire compatible. It seems a shame to just chuck it.

Also, does anyone know if it is easy to put a UK plug on an EU appliance?
I'll soon find out.

Yes.

Yes.
Or you could just jam the two-pin plug into a three pin socket as they're roughly the same distance apart.

This is both stupid and lazy.

I tried that but it didn't work properly.
This has been one of the jobs I've been meaning to get around to for two years.

Oh god.
A woman has done wiring. Everybody in the area prepare for a power cut and a massive fire.

not without pushing something into the earth terminal to disengage the saftey covers on the phases

Yup.
The best thing for opening the safety covers is the prong of one of those fucking stupid "safety" plug things for "protecting" children.

Only if you have OCD.

Put your iPod charger on Freecycle
and pickpocket the cunt that comes round to collect it.

Have done. As well as the old hairdrier without a plug. Worth a shot.
