Default domestic wiring paranoia

Make sure the screws are tight, and 'help' the cables to fold into place
neatly when replacing the faceplate. In particular, make sure that all
cables are well clear of the screws. Many years ago - when I was young and
foolish(!) - I managed to get a live wire in such a place that the screw
cut through the insulation when I did it up - resulting in a big bang and
a somewhat blackened fitting when I turned the mains on. With any luck,
you only do that *once*!



Yep, been there, done that!!!!
