Indeed, I've never seen a 50a pair run like that though obviously I've
never been to every house in the UK :)

Those of us who do electrical work (before getting the appropriate
government body in to test and sign off etc....jeez!) despair at portable
lights and kettles etc run off 13A fuses because 'that'll work won't it'

ObClassiccmp: I saw a PET 8032 with 8050 floppy drive and printer
yesterday. Bet all of it had 13A fuses :D
