Talking to my lunch time drinking companion, he mention that a fuse had

It turns out that the house was built about 1958 and has only one fuse
for the sockets upstairs and downstairs. Was this common then and does
he have a ring or radial wiring?

There is a fuse for lights and another for the cooker.

A good approach to inadequate capacity wiring was to mark the curernt
consumption of the appliance in amps on each plug top. Then for the
end user its easy not to plug too much load in at once.

Farm living is the life for me.
Land spreading out, so far and wide.
Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside.

For anyone too young to understand (at all), have a shufty here (though
it does not explain my comment):

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
