I'm fully aware of what screw to use thank you. I used the type you
describe, the pan head that comes as standard with the easi drive fixing.


Just being a touch picky here, but a pan head screw can also be named a
cheese headed screw.


No. DEFINITLY not.

Cheese head is a square section top, Hex is a square section hex top,
pan head is like an inverted frying pan and round head is wok shaped IYSWIM.


Just imagine either a full round of cheese, or a
kitchen pan upside down and both have a screwdriver slot in the top,
then you have a pan head, or a cheese head screw depending on where you
come from.

Round headed screws are as was described, round headed. :-)
