Elderly (tight) rellies can't fit occasional fusewires into old

Maybe provide them with some replacement fuse carriers, ready to swap?

That's a thought.


But really, what is the underlying reason for fuses blowing sufficently
often to be a problem?


I never said they did.

Last one was a bulb blowing that took 1/2 their lights out for a
few days despite "having a go" at rewiring the wylex fuse carrier
in question. They didn't have enough dexterity nor eyesight to
complete the task effectively.

Eg Could the use of wrong fusewire be more dangerous than a
replacement MCB?

The costs of calling an electrician to rewire a fuse would appear
to be not a thousand miles away from the costs of the
MCBs.

(and heaven forfend they fall victim to a minority rogue sparky
who will tell them they "must" upgrade at ££££).
