Put the live wire in the hole for the live wire.
Put the neutral wire in the hole for the neutral wire.
Put the earth wire in the hole for the earth wire.
The end.
Put the neutral wire in the hole for the neutral wire.
Put the earth wire in the hole for the earth wire.
The end.
I dont know from the colors which is which...
I'm guessing:
Brown is neutral on the right
Green/yellow is earth in the middle
Blue is live on the left

brown live - Left
green and yellow stripes earth - centre

The live brown tree grew out of the green (and yellow) earth into the neutral blue sky.
Of course it does beg the question why. I have 678,432,201 of those in a cupboard upstairs if you really need one XD

The questions already been answered in this very thread just a few posts above? Why are you asking again, this is scary! Don't burn your house down
This is one of those things which shows up, my laziness at school.
It wasnt untill after my gcse's that I started to apply my self.
No doubt wiring up a plug was one of those lessons I wasnt listening...

No, as I said earlier just use the 2nd letter of each solid colour. So bLue is Left and bRown is right.

OP - are you wiring the mains plug or the kettle plug end?
If it's the kettle plug, can you post a pic? If it's the mains plug, then there are already a couple of pics of the correct wiring on this thread already

Then the brown lead goes into the slot marked L, the blue into the slot marked N and the yellow/green into the slot marked E

Who, at the age of the OP according to profile, doesn't know how to wire a plug 
Even if you didn't, why the hell would you not just Google it instead of admitting it on a forum and in OcUK GD of all places where people are duty bound to ridicule you for everything
