'plugs in' so is not covered by the new regs.

it is protection from those who believe in polarised resistors ;-)

That was a low punch Brian - especially on a day when the design for the
latest ground-breaking reinvention of the wheel in radio form is being
proposed and discussed.

Sadly - like a plane with no engine - it won't ever get off the ground.

Sorry but nobody is perfect.

Seriously, I still quote the (in)famous line about knowing one end of a
resistor from another in training courses. Always gets a laugh and, as you
probably know, a little humour in a lesson works wonders.

In this case I think train not leaving the station as the signals don't work
is more appropriate.

Then more fool you, if you don't understand the
necessity of reading the colour code from the
correct end.

(I wonder if you hold, or have ever held, a licence
issued under the gangrenous degeneration that is
the M3/CB Fools' Licence scheme? You certainly
make yourself out as stupid and as ignorant enough.)
