Re: 13 amp fuse for 1.5mm mains flex?
"But is it worth disrupting the universal compatibility of all plugs in all sockets to equip smaller loads with physically smaller plugs? Is that a return to the bad old days?"
Totally agree that a return to those bad old days is a very bad idea. Some of us can remember those horrific "christmas trees" of variegated sizes of brown, round-pin plugs and multi-way/multi-size adaptors that were once seen in houses wired up in the 1930s/1940s. 13 Amp sockets and ring mains - plug any appliance (bar immersion heaters, cookers, etc) into any socket (even if the advent of the twin 13A socket did b***** that up a bit). That universal compatibility is worth fighting to the death for!
