Is it legal to have a UK plug without a fuse when it feeds a flex?

Doubt it - but needs must, on occasions!

The workshop attached to the place where I worked about 30 years ago was
wired with 15A round-pin sockets. Then they changed them to 13A flat pin
sockets - with the result that the arc welder kept blowing fuses.

Solution? Turn up a solid brass 'fuse' in the lathe and insert it into
the 13A plug. No more blown fuses after that!

And no less safe than the system it replaced.
