LONDON — Are you handy enough that if a lightbulb went out in your home you’d be able to change it? Believe it or not, one in five people aren’t so skilled.

U.K. Lightbulbs suck. I can change them but they are difficult to remove from ceilings and have prongs,rather than screws, that need to fit into a wire thing that hangs down and looks threatening enough to electrocute someone.
