Metpost does a version that is specifically for setting in concrete. I
used them when replacing a larch-lap fence last year. They're very
good, and easy to put in straight, but I don't think the ones I used
have a bolt to allow th epost to be removed (I can't see the fence from
here). IIRC, the instructions mentioned cutting the timber near the
Metpost and burning the rest out.

Thanks, I'll have a look for those. I suppose not having a removal
mechanism would at least keep the socket looking trim and tidy. burning out
the old post when necessary wouldn't be too bad a method as a second
choice.

I suppose hacking out what you can, a bit of WD40 and some chip-fat and
you could have a right good time for an hour or so.

Always wanted a barbie. The ones you cook on of course. Never let it be
