I really, really do not understand this! And especially since plugs are all sealed now.

Are sealed plugs 'the law', or are they just sealed?

Me too, I quite like wiring plugs. But that was when we bought appliances and had to wire our own plugs, there’s literally no need to keep plugs any more, and they’re probably not that expensive to buy if you did need one.

(I’ve had to use that mantra a few times when there’s something I ‘might’ use, I can always re-buy it if really needed)

You legally can’t buy something without a sealed plug these days

Another skill lost

Sorry to post this on this thread, but as a confessed saver if plugs and cables :-
I am now in correspondence with 2 museums about 2 laptops I have saved since the 1990s ‘just in case’ .

I wished I had kept my first "portable" computer. It is a classic now and could have made someone very happy!

".... This month, each of you must get rid of one thing on the first day. On the second, two things. Three items on the third. So forth, and so on. Anything can go! Clothes, furniture, electronics, tools, decorations, etc. Donate, sell, or trash. Whatever you do, each material possession must be out of your house—and out of your life—by midnight each day."
