I pointed out that one of my sockets had stopped working to my landlord on Friday..he's a good lad and I was expecting him to say.."no worries Gaz,I'll send me sparks round asap"..instead he said.."I'll drop you in a new one tomorrow,sure you'll have no trouble changing that".
Nerrr
better that than a landlord who a) wont do anything, b) wont let you do anything.
not a big job - just make sure the breaker/fuse is off/out before you take socket off wall.
