But absolutely useless for practical purposes. We'd end up like the
Americans, having to work out which combinations of sockets and
appliances don't trip anything.

I didn't think ring abuse was that widespread so as to be a problem.

I'm doing that at the moment, running my entire house (bar water
heater) off
1 32A temp ring and a rather unhealthy assortment of extension leads.

SWMBO's been "instructed" as to which fan heater to turn off to run,
say the
washing machine...

And this is lecturing people on electricity. Amazing. The man is a
walking fire hazard.

It seems every time you open your mouth, it is only to stick your foot
further in.

Yes, further into the mouth of idiot.
