Hi Billy,

That's ridiculous; I'm sure you can find a friendly electrician to do the 
job. I had a go at moving and re-connecting an extension box but couldn't 
re-connect, so a kind wife did it. We cheated and used a screwdriver as an 
insertion tool but you really shouldn't do that, and if it had caused any 
shorts, BT would have caned me.

Hth,

Mike
