wirecutterman is right...

Lord Finchley tried to mend the Electric Light
Himself. It struck him dead: And serve him right!
It is the business of the wealthy man
To give employment to the artisan.

US terminology is

Black = Hot (Live) & White = Common (Neutral)

Older UK wiring has
Red/Black = Live/Neutral

and the New Euro colours
Brown/Blue = Live/Neutral

There's a table in this wikipedia article...
