    Hiya besties, hope you are all well? Are any of you sparks? The pins from a plug broke off and are stuck in the socket? Apart from the obvious answer, wetting my fingers and trying to pull them out, how should I go about this tricky task? Just put it off at the mains then unscrew the screw in between the pins and hopefully the whole thing will come out? 20200810_145709.jpg

    Throw water on the socket then put a copper wire down your urethra and stick wire into socket.

    I'd just call a man in to do it. I'm not a peasant.

    Probably a cheap plug, the same happened with my phone charger one about 6 months ago but enough of the pins were still sticking out the socket to yank them out.
