Don't forget to add a cut off 6" nail as a fuse and hold the other end of the cable as you plug it in and switch on.

Is it ok to lick the end of the cable to check that the fuse is ok.

The message from "Paul" contains these words:
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.

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 :-)
