You can still buy 13A plugs to fit yourself, complete with 13A fuses.
9 times out of 10 the latter remain in the plug whatever the load.

But why would you need to if the appliance is already fitted with one?


Damaged, broken ...


WRT the fuse, it would be more sensible if 3A was the standard fitment; if
it was unsuitable it would fail to safe :-)


Or none at all. Would force people to think about what fuse
to fit.

You, I, or Chris might know what fuse to fit in a plug, but the un-educated will think '13 Amp plug = 13 amp fuse.'
This is the Darwinian theory at work :-(


It'll do wonders for the sale of extension leads and dodgy adaptors !

Which will do nothing to support part P

Showers now have to be certified, and can't be fitted by plumbers.

But I can fit one for myself. I have lots of old colour cable and even if I did use the new colours, I could claim it was pre part Pee. You couldn't make these rules up, even if you smoked smack, or similar.
