Friend of mine moved house last year. Their 1920s house (in an area
that was one of the last DC supply areas in the country) still had two
fuses, and electrics to match. This wasn't even picked up on the
survey.

I have a neutral fuse here, although it's on a supply that was removed
in 2000. Some other equipment adjacent to it is '80s dated though, and
no-one thought to remove the neutral fuse at the time. I think it was
installed on a 1950s AC overhead supply.

If a neutral fuse fails, you're well rid of it.
