Exactly!
and people complain about my factories in Asia which are educating children in a similar manner.

My mother taught me how to wire a plug when I was a small boy. Even now when I come to do one I recall her telling me "Red on the Right"...
The plugs in question would have been the round pin ones we had before BS1363 plugs were in common use.
I was first taught by my mother when I was about 9 years old and subsequently in secondary school as part of a physics class!
me too ... but I don't ever remember being told to correctly size the fuse, and I probably wouldn't have had the correct one to hand anyway, so quite likely than manually-wired plug would have wrong fuse ... which is presumably where moulded plugs came into being in the first place

I’ve got my fuse collection in an old tobacco tin that my dad used. It’s a strange choice as neither me nor dad ever smoked! I imagine he cadged it off a workmate, as pipe smoking was quite popular at work back in his day.Ah well, different mothers! When my mother died some years ago I inherited her little Tupperware box full of plug fuses, all ratings kept for re-use, to add to my own collection ... I won't claim that's typical behaviour!
