ETA: This is also the answer to pretty much any question about the differences between us and Europe.

Errr... don't you mean "why don't we drive on the same side as the rest of Europe"?Why don't we drive on the same side as Europe
The earth wire is the most important to get right. Even if wiring up a detachable 3 conductor mains lead for a double insulated item the earth must always be connected is case the cable gets moved to another device.Electronics is quite a hard subject, but it would be a little easier if current flowed the same direction as electrons. Unfortunately, Benjamin Franklin had a 50-50 chance of getting it right and he got it wrong. It would have been worth the bother of nominating the charge on electrons as positive when it was discovered they were the primary charge characters, but now it's too late.
Wires on three pin plugs: whose bright idea was it to colour the live wire brown and the earth wire green and yellow? Blue for neutral sort of makes sense, but earth should be brown and live should be green or maybe red. Why give the earth wire the most vivid colours when it's not always necessary anyway.

Yeah, you've got the writing on the fuse the right way up, so all ok.View attachment 353076 before I plug my guitar in is this right
5 Amp fuse though, not 13.Yeah, you've got the writing on the fuse the right way up, so all ok.
Maybe not.
Based on the way you play guitar, yes it is.View attachment 353076 before I plug my guitar in is this right

OK, can somebody explain what the actual difference is between live and neutral? I mean it's alternating current so they must be the same and just swap over fifty times a second right? Right?
