Bloody stupid talking about left and right when so many people confuse them; when it depends on whether you are looking at it from the front or back, or have it rotated; when it's not something to have to think about when you are on your back under a worktop; when it's no use when faced with a FCU; when ....

I wouldn't like to rely on this for safety-critical purposes, but it does make a sort of sense. Well, it seems the manufacturers of 13A mains sockets (and plugtops) share your concern since they include clear markings (LNE) embossed or engraved into the fabric of these products to identify each terminals' intended function independently of any interpretations of their handedness. :-) -- Johnny B Good |
