    Can somebody give me a rough idea on the labour cost (and timescale) of having an old coin operated electric meter replaced with a digital pre pay meter, not the card type installed by electricity suppliers but the pre pay ones available to buy.

    Is This Light Fitting Double Insulated?

    As the title states really, I see it has the double insulated symbol but seeing as this is a piece of premium Chinesium I am sure the CE mark is fake as well.
