I have some memory that if you were to chuck away an electrical appliance
you should first cut the plug off.
However a cut off moulded plug itself seems dodgy as it could be plugged
in and have a live connection.


Very dodgy - in fact has killed a toddler in the past.

Oven swap? The child took the new plug with the new flex on it and
plugged it into a socket? The fitter removed the new stuff and reused
the old stuff


Take the fuse out helps but kitkat wrapper.


I think that's beyond most toddlers.


And most of my apprentices
