louisa the short answer is they use any colour they have got including yellow/green(earth) for live wire I kid you not. older places only had earths in kitchen or bathrooms now they have to put it everywhere. The wiring system in the house will most likley be spur points and not ring main. But if you are just putting Turk plugs on English appliances apply the same convention as the Uk and you shouldnt have a problem. I sure your son will be ok with this.

I think the only 'plug' is for your advert!
