Explain why it's always the neutral terminal screw that comes loose in a

Is it ? Is this a 'well known fact' or something ? Are you actually
serious ?

Deadly. I check the mains plug on every bit of kit that comes across my
bench, and in at least 50% of cases, one terminal screw will be loose, and
that is *almost* invariably the neutral one. There has been discussion about
this in trade magazines, so amongst proper service engineers, it would seem
to be well known.
