Question Skirting board clips - no screws, nails or glue

Anybody had any dealings with using this chappies?

http://laminates.wood-floor.co.uk/qu...s-access.shtml

Apparently these brackets fix to the wall and your skirting then clips to it. I want to know whether anyone has used them and how easy they are to install/how they work.

I have my reservations...

Sounds good in theory, but I suspect it would have trouble with my
uneven walls

I note they show hardwood skirting.

Can just imagine the sound of the clips popping as softwood warps...
