It's been up since 2012 with 77k views and nobody has commented about that.

I've just left one.

Surely nobody reads YouTube comments? Anyway it'll be live on the right once he's turned it round.

Apart from any of that, if talking about the norm wouldn't you show a switched socket? And also the far more usual single strand CPC? And how many amateurs even know what a CPC is? Sockets ain't marked CPC.

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 ....

Something of a misnomer; there's nothing essential about it! I asked my wife's PD specialist why it was called that, and he said it's a historic term, because they could find no reason for it so concluded it must be 'essential', OWTTE.

ARW pretended :

Correct, when looking at the front face of the outlet, which was probably what he had in mind, but he really ought to have made that clear.

hands.

And "essential tremor" isn't the same as a Parkinson's Disease tremor. Essential termor tends to be present all the time and get worse when you are (trying) to use the affected part and may be less noticeable when relaxed/not trying to use it.

A PD tremor tends to be the opposite, present when relaxed or not conciously using the part (say holding a cup) and stops when you conciously use the part to, say, write. At least before your PD gets too advanced, my PD tremor is now creeping back at a low level if "using" my right hand in a static(ish) position for more than 10 seconds(ish).

Additional springs have been added to a mouse and the track ball buttons to reduce the number of false clicks when hand is relaxed above them...

My wife's PD specialist, and my wife's experience, would contradict you. He told her that some people with PD have more tremor when stressed, others have more tremor when relaxed. In my wife's case, her tremor gets worse when she's stressed. He also described it as 'essential tremor', not distinguishing PD 'essential tremor' from the non-PD form.

Maybe something that has a defined front and back and a defined top and bottom also has, by analogy with a person, a permanent left and right side. I wouldn't like to rely on this for safety-critical purposes, but it does make a sort of sense.

Essential being used to mean 'of the essence' or 'of itself' with no separate cause - an older meaning of 'essential' than the one we currently favour. The modern tendency would be to use 'idiopathic' to mean no known separate cause.

Stress is a seperate infulence on (my) tremor. Voluntary use of the hand generally overides the tremor more or less completely.

So does mine and it's very sensitive. I can be relaxed and relatively tremor free. Then something *very* minor and certainly nothing conciously noticable will increase my stress level and the tremor will start up. It's damn huge give away flag as to my underlying stress level.

Stress affects both for the worse. The big difference is that voluntary (concious) use of the affected part will generally reduce a PD tremor but makes an essential tremor worse.

You can have one, the other, or both!

Best wishes to your wife, I've been diagnosed 5 years and about to start on sinemet as 14 mg/day prolonged release ropinirole isn't quite enough and really short term memory(*) has degraded in the last few months.

That is look at part number on one page, switch to another page to enter it, er, what was it? Switch back, oh yes, switch, what? Once somthing has got into storage it's there and recallable. Getting something random, like a part number, stored is not fully automatic like it used to be.

But he, and the camera, were looking at it from the rear (socket laterally inverted) As he was commentating in real time and gesturing to the incorrect terminals, he got it wrong. End of.

I notice with 2 gang sockets there is no fixed convention. L & N can be either way round so you have to check.

Graham. was thinking very hard :

Only his gestures were wrong. His words were correct and he connected to the correct terminals.

Perhaps just nervousness in front of the camera.

My wife was diagnosed a similar time ago, maybe a little less. She was put straight on to madopar (co-beneldopa, aka sinemet etc), now at

100mg/25mg strength, 4-times a day.

I put similar problems down to my age. I write things down a lot!

And best wishes to you, also.
