As a matter of interest, did you fit it via a fused connection unit? I
understand it is bad practice to connect an unfused plug to the ring

Shucko's are 16A.

Maximum.

So you may fit to a 16A radial socket circuit directly.

I think that would be OTT for charging a toothbrush etc. My heavy
current appliances all have UK plugs.

Or FCU and 13A fuse.

Except I thought the theory was that the fuse was intended to protect
the cable. I cannot imagine a toothbrush or shaver charger cable
would carry 13 amps. I thought a 2 amp fuse would offer added safety.

As you correctly observed, do no stick it in a 32A ring without
additional fusing.

Indeed. MK insisted on a statement of intended use for a non-UK
approved product and I made this clear.
