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.

Which is perfectly OK for a 1.5mm squared domestic extension lead. If you
need a super long one for high load you'd be advised to increase the cable
size to keep voltage drop to a minimum.
