[G6Tanuki]

For washing-machine/tumble-drier loads I invariably use either a 16A blue "commando" plug/socket on its own radial, or id a ring is involved I hard-wire the appliance to an [unswitched] fused-connection-unit. I never like introducing extra potentially-high-resistance failure-points like switches and plugs/sockets when 3Kw or so is involved.
