Putting a new plug on your kettle is allowed in all 50 states and most if not all of western Europe.

I misunderstood then - I interpreted the parent as being about the wall socket, because I wasn't aware that rewiring the actual plug was a thing you could do (or that these things ever failed, in fact).

I guess I'm a double embarrassment then!

You're not an embarrassment. Different people know different things.

Rewiring a plug is an extremely rare need..2
