Have you not had trouble? I unscrewed one and live wire was around screw and it blew off the wall. I should have turned power off first so my mistake. Turned a few fuse boxes off only for the house alarm to go off. Found some sockets with live and neutral wrong way around then you wonder should I correct it. I turned one fuse box switch off and that blew up. Had to call emergency sparks out and I got the bill but I dug in as not my fault the box was duff. Wires snap off and become to short or just fall out. Rusty metal boxes where lugs snapped off. Had lady shouting at me on phone because power was off when she come home one week after I finished which turned out to be boiler fault and nothing to do with me. 20 mile drive one evening to go sort out and get myself out of it. You touch it you own it is the rule. Done my nut in over the years.. I can't be the only one sockets problems.. Anyone skim a wall and that become live because of a cable in the wall somewhere. That's scarey.f**k me What a load of b*ll***s! How has loosening sockets got such a reaction??
