James, the real ultimate solution is to replace the plug with a drain tap and stick on a piece of hose into your basin or bucket when you drain. Then the coolant does not even run down the side of the engine and goes where you want it.

For those who don't like coolant splashing everywhere all over their paintwork: Don't do as the Haynes says and remove the radiator filler cap! Remove the drain plug... and then remove the filler cap slowly. This way you can control the flow - if you undo it and just rest it on the top the filler cap hole the water flows nicley down the side of the engine.
