Up next: vegan appliances.
A question for the UK folk; when you buy an appliance these days, do you still have to wire your own plug or do the appliances come pre-wired with a plug now?

I’d imagine that also sums up parenting sometimes.

Pretty sure it’s solely because she’s a woman. How dare she.

If appliances once came such that you had to fit your own plug, it was a long, long time ago. Everything now comes with a plug, usually moulded into place, and has done for years and years.

Huh. Bought a new dryer in 2020. The plug came separately. Same with the dishwasher last year.

So, what is the reason for putting your own plug together? Is it so you can determine your own cord length?

It was because of the switchover to the plug in use today. For a while in the UK there were two non-compatible plug types so you had to wire your appliances yourself. In the US there was a period where some homes had the two-prong outlet while others still had screw-in outlets. Look at the old Tom and Jerry cartoons.
And @CitizenJohnJohn, I lived in England in the '80’s and was the designated plug-put-togetherer in my house.
