well no only in that i have always been interested in electrics
the name was a nickname i had a long time ago when i used to be in a resedential school and i had already gained the nickname pugwash for other reasons
then i decided to wash the socket end of a rather grubby extention reel ofc i forgot that the other end was still plugged in surprisingly it didn't hurt that much presumablly because the shutters made the contact area through the water very small
btw some of the anonymous edits to mains power plug were also me
Hi
Hi, Plugwash, and welcome to Misplaced Pages. I'm glad you have started to add information on mains wiring. We needed somebody like you who knows about this subject. It's particularly interesting to know how wiring practice differs from country to country. -- Heron 09:32, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- hi im british mnyself and don't really have a huge knowlage of how things are outside britan. I try to represent as neutral point of veiw as possible on the articles i edit but ofc on a subject with such great regional variation every editor is going to be pretty biased.
Yes, it will be difficult to write a fair overview of the whole world's wiring practices, but I live in hope. We started off with almost exclusively American information, so I'm glad that you are here to broaden the coverage a bit. Now I'm waiting for someone to explain how they manage earthing in desert countries where the soil is dry sand! Keep up the good work, --Heron 14:15, 14 Oct 2004 (UTC)
