The message
from "Paul" contains these words: Is it ok to lick the end of the cable to check that the fuse is ok. I once stripped a mains cable with my teeth. I could have sworn I'd unplugged it - but as it happened I'd unplugged another very like it. Came as a bit of a shock. -- Skipweasel Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain. |

You don't need the green wire. The appliance still works when you
disconnect it. Don't understand why they use it, 'specially since you can now get flex with only blue and brown :-) |
