For some reason that 2nd pic has made me feel really queasy.
@MTB-Idle - I wired a double extension cable recently (so 1 plug and 1 or 2? sockets). Then at the weekend had to trim it down to it's ultimate length, so re-wired the plug.
When I first did it my OH was really surprised asking; "you know how to do that?" TBH I thought it was pretty standard. When I was a kid I helped my mum chance all of our UK appliances to French plugs as she'd finally had enough of adapters... but then that was quite a long time ago now.
I'm sure the fact that most electric items are semi-disposable now means it's less common.
I'll admit it took me a lot longer to do than it used to, and I'd forgotten what goes where. Even the earth colours :(
