Grab a new three-pin plug – the big, chunky, round one that looks like it could survive a nuclear blast. You’ll also need a screwdriver (flat or crosshead, depending on your plug’s screws), some wire strippers or a sharp knife, and maybe a wire cutter. Oh, and a cup of coffee for courage – highly recommended.
Your new plug will have three little holes inside, each marked with a letter: L (Live), N (Neutral), and E (Earth). Some plugs also have a little clamp or a screw to hold the cable in place. Don’t lose that tiny screw – it’s like the remote control of life: small, annoying, but essential.
