Let it go man...
Couple of years ago I was have a cup of tea around my mate's parents house, this guy in fact www.b3ta.com/questions/unfinishedbusiness/post767798 , I commented on how swanky their new telly looked. The old man started telling a story of how his sister bought a TV, and when it was delivered there was no plug on the power lead.

As he recounted the tale he was getting angrier and angrier, it ended with him out of the arm chair tensed in a fighting posture, red faced and shouting “SO I FUCKING TOLD HIM TO PUT A FUCKING PLUG ON THAT FUCKING LEAD OR THIS TELLY AND EVERY OTHER FUCKING TELLY IN THE SHOP WAS GOING THROUGH THE FUCKING WINDOW!”.

He collapsed back into the chair, spent from the exertions of the re-lived rage.

“When was this” asked his son

“1952” he replied.

You tell kids these days that we had to fit our own plugs when I was a nipper...
...and they never believe you.

hahaha this is like a carbon copy of my dad
he can never buy somethign electrical tha has more than an on/off switch and maybe one dial without being irreversably confused by it. which invariably ends with it being declared as broken/not fit for purpose, and ends with a trip to the shop of origin where he'll scream bloody murder and threaten to put said item through the effin window right out of the box, before they've so much as finished the 'how can i help you' then wonders why they don't want to take his money again. old men. angry bastards.

People from other countries
are still surprised that it's only in the last 15 years or so that appliances sold in the UK have had to be supplied with a fitted plug.
