Fuses ans stuff was : Lightbulb police?

Why plugs pre-fiotted with 3A fuses are so hard to obtain is beyond me. A local large department store once (apparently) mis-ordered MK mains plugs and got the ones with 3A fuses. Which they then sold off at a bargain pricee. I think I bought their entire stock (something like 50 plugs). I've used them all up now, and I don't think I put a 13A fuse in any of them (Of course the MK plug pre-fitted with a 3A fuse is indentical (apart from the fuse) to the one with the 13A fuse pre-fitted, so it's quite save to put a 13A fuse in it). Interesting. Last time I looked (admittedly it was some years ago), the 1A fuse was not compliant with BS1362, all the others were. I will check again... I don't much care for PAT testing either, at least not as it's usually done I do check just about everything I use for earth leakage and earth ocntinuity (at suitable test voltages and currents respectively), and I recheck every year or so. But I look at the values of the resistances, etc. A device may still have an earth leakage resistance way over the legal limit, but if it's dropped from say 1GOhm to 10MOhms, I want to know why. Most PAT testers won't pick that up. Which I would have done anyway... And which PAT testing won't detect. I;'ve seen a device which had a single-pole switch in one wire and a single pole fuse i nthe otehr wires -- I can't rememebr which way round. Needless to say I rewired it properly. I beleive I do. I've been fitting 13A plugs since before I even went to school. Well, I always open the plug an check. Maybe I have to rewire it. But I can't open a moulded plug to check... -tony
