Just a simple plug
I guess I’d not paid enough attention. While in the hardware store last evening, I decided to replace the electrical plug that was mangled in a recent industrial/agricultural/domestic accident. Given that the plugs were in bins right beside me, colour-coded (if black and yellow can be considered as sufficient choices) and priced within my budget, I grabbed a pair of generic plugs (rather than sockets) and headed to the checkout. The scanned price was higher than I’d remembered, but the girl assured me that people often mixed up the contents of the bins. I now owned two 20 Amp connectors, suitable for use by the amateur home repairman.
