Except that here in the UK just yesterday I had to give up when trying to
replace the lead of a new 4-way (too-short) extension socket (Tesco).

Now I have a multi-bit screwdriver that removed the screws with fancy
tamper-proof heads, but the clip-together plastic construction was, I fear,
apparently unbeatable, apart from destroying the thing.

It looks as though we are now all graded as galoots, but non-Galootish!

Jeff, playing with words.
