Default Are 3A plug fuses really necessary? Why not always 13A?

I don't.


I assume that (non shonky) 13A leads are 13A rated, and will have a 13A
fuse in the plug.


Yes I realise that other leads are available, as I am sure you know full
well.


I'm sure you might have been able to buy a non 13 amp fused extension lead
once.


Yup, you certainly used to be able to get 5A ones. I have a 15m cassette
style lead like that somewhere.

If you can today, I'd like to hear of where.
