I Know this might sound daft but as I have Trixaxis from the 'states' (I live here in the UK, so your plugs are alien to me!!) please tell me; on a US plug one terminal is brass and one is silver which is live and which is neutral?...please help, as I am rewiring it due to the last fool cutting the cable too short!!

Cheers

In the US:

Hot = the black wire & brass terminal (UK = brown) & narrower plug contact

Neutral = white wire, & silver teminal (UK = blue) & wider plug contact
 
Also that rounder thing below is a ground. Never use a grounded cord without it grounding to something.
