[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 3600, member: 250"] In the real world situations I think polarity is more of an issue where you replace an exsiting faulty socket front and you are working on auto-pilot... so you just stick the wires in the new socket in the same relative positions as the old socket!!! :| But its a different manufactured socket outlet with positions reveresd:( Whereas when doing a rewire and you go round sticking all the socket fronts on they are all the same way and you just get in a routine.... cut.. trim.. fold.. insert.. screw.. check.. fix to wall, I cant think of any time I have C*****-up polarity on a rewire job.. ?:| But I have done it on on-off faulty socket replacement jobs (or fused spur for that matter!!!) :_| :_| Doh!!
