Until someone borrows it for a not-so-lightly-loaded application.

Perhaps you didn't know, but UK plugs have a fuse in them?

but most people put 13A fuses in them.

I bought an extension reel from BnQ a while back. Eventually discovered
it was fitted with a 10A fuse. Never knew such a thing existed! Still,
probably my fault for simply assuming something from them would be good
for 13A!
