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.






indeed I had to use box extenders to get all the wires back in...


Well that will look like a cows **** when using brushed chrome sockets.
