She even said she would accept some as a Xmas present - fine by me and I
would enjoy fitting them.

Not the case. They were a very tight fit into the back boxes - making final
alignment improssible without moving the back box. The boxes were flush to
the wall face.

The space for the wires was very restricted - especially where there was a
spur off the ring.

2 hours and 6 sockets later and I now need some polyfilla and paint.

I have not forgiven the electricial for not fitting deeper boxes.


Some of the flat plate stuff requires the back box to be 5mm behind the
plaster edge and use 35mm back boxes.

And two cables through the same knockout is also a ******* with some
sockets that are not flat plated.
