Just as well items are now supplied with a fitted plug. Can you imagine
the "Facebook Generation" trying to use wire strippers and screwdrivers.

I know they can do that fine, one of them just borrowed mine to do that.

And I bought a complete set of screwdrivers at a garage/yard
sale for another and a decent cordless drill at another for
another of the facebook generation.

In the days when plugs were brown, it was nice to buy a nice
new MK White plug (extra cost) to fit on a new appliance.
