sold at garden centres and ironmongers because to run the 3kw element they
would have to turn everything else off.

Do you mean most old or rural homes, or even new ones?

And does this have anything to do with the existence of 10 A sockets
and plugs (and special circuits, I assume) in Italy, in addition to
the usual European 13 A ones?

(Sorry for the late FU, but I just happened to be rummaging through my
travel adaptors/cables recently & the 2nd question popped up.)

Rod is dumb and ignorant. Steve Firth is worse however. Whatever his
single experience is, he considers universally true.

Although in this case he is probably correct. houses are fused at 13, 25
or 40A AFAICT.

Not the UK 60/100A standards
