Today

Have rewired a plug for the first time in my life. Why do we still have slotted screws? Surely we should have all moved to Phillips (crosshead) screws by now? Or are they still patented?

Flat still a mess, but we have a bit of floor to put a mattress on for tonight - no point putting the bed back together as the bedroom is being used to cut flooring to size. After dinner (dauphinoise potates are cooking as we speak) we'll be shuffling stuff from room to room so that the study can be done tomorrow. Sooooooon.

Phillips? No, no... proper screws are Robertson, with the little square.

Lol, we learnt that at school. And my dad taught me actually. How did you avoid such things? I suppose there are lots of composite plugs these days!

Why do we still have slotted screws?

So that I can still improvise when I can't find a screwdriver?

You've maybe never busted a Philips screw head to the point where it won't work any more...

I'm thinking of mounting a campaign to make *every* screw in the entire world a Torx screw.
