I'll open sealed punnets of fruit in supermarkets to taste before I buy.

Thats going a bit too far mate. I have this image in my head now of what you do when you are buying toilet roll.... and its not nice.
 
actually i blamed myself: i really should have gone back straight way....the guy in screwfix was not happy either when i told him what happened, he said the fan was the only one when i asked to get a replacement...drove to b&q then, not a lucky day yesterday

theoretically screwfix didnt lose any money after all as they are owned by b&q!!. i dont buy from screwfix as i have had problems in the past with faulty equipment including rcd's and outside pir lights.
