Starting out a young enthusiast

Their school also teaches them about finances, pitfalls with finance and such. Why oh why oh why can't they teach them something useful instead, like Latin, playing the recorder or how oxbow lakes are formed.

I suspect that the teachers at the school I attended in the early 1960's  didn't have the best interests of their pupils at the forefront of their minds. I would hope that things are very different now.

This was in the 80s before moulded plugs were supplied on appliance.

The new colour scheme is intended to reduce the chance of wires being connected incorrectly.

I have found that moulded plugs have overheated in the past and had to replace them with MK Safety Plugs or MK Super Plugs.

I was teaching, at the time, some boys who needed to remove Shoes and Socks if counting above ten. I hoped that if they learned one thing from my (Physics) classes, it was how to wire a 13A plug.

In retrospect (and hindsight is the most exact of all disciplines), I wish that I had been taught Latin (the language, a boy told me, spoken by dead Romans).
