how many people consider the rating of their main fuse when using their
electrical devices, and when was the last time you heard of someone
blowing their main fuse?

I blew one once.
When I was 9.
Winding about 20 turns of thick copper wire around a mechano axle and
connecting it to the mains is bad, its worse when the householder has
replaced the fuse in the cu with a bolt.
For some reason it was my fault the main fuse blew and I was banned from
going there.
