Had a electrician do some work in our house, when asked what type of sockets I required I said white plastic, and at one point I mentioned a brand that I had used previously and wanted. Anyways, electrician installs sockets which aren't of the mentioned brand but I wasn't too fussed as white plastic is more or less the same isn't it?....
Apparently not, when I come to use the sockets, they are simply horrible. It takes almost super human strength to insert plugs and just as much to remove them. Terrible things they are. So they're no good.
I've told the electrician and he's said he will supply replacements free of charge if I fit them, but if I want him to fit them he will have to charge me. Now, to me this seems a bit off. I can fit themselves but that's not the point. What if I had been some old lady who couldn't? Would she be charged to have them replaced? I didn't pay the electrician to fit crappy hard to use sockets.
I actually like the electrician so would rather not have a row over it.
