Exactly. £4.30!

£1.44 for an ordinary socket

Plus the cost of the double back box, increasing the size of
the hole in the wall to take it and all the extra time taken,
etcetera ...


Instead, a 5 minute job that will make the extra £2.86 seem
well worth it.


Except that it's not going to match any other socket in the room.


That might not matter if it isn't in plain sight.


It would matter to me. ;-)
