Default Re: 13 amp fuse for 1.5mm mains flex?

So what has gone wrong ? It seems quality has gone backwards with regards to standards.
If you can open the shutters on a mains extension using the earth pin on a mains plug, then that is most definitely worrying.

Most certainly the old bakelite plugs and sockets are a higher quality than what is available today. I have used plastic moulded plugs, and worried the plug lid could come off when unplugging from the socket.
