Socket problem - can you help?

[Risteard]

As he should have. Unfortunately most people would have felt an apology was more than sufficient.

Or a straight denial of having caused the issue...

The point my esteemed colleagues are trying to make is that, even if the cables are moved and no longer catch under the screw, there must be damage to the conductor, reducing the size. The damaged part must be cut off, and may mean the cable is not long enough to reach the terminal, and will need to be extended.

Please take our advice and get an electrician to fix it... It shouldn't take any more than an hour. They can also advise on upgrading the fusebox/ consumer unit to include RCD protection so it will be much safer next time there's an accident.
