How can an extension lead (in the UK) not have a fused plug?

13A fused.

Actually, I have an extension lead, semi-permanently installed with a 2A
fuse. It was fitted to run a set of Christmas tree lights and used a
comparatively small cable to make it less obtrustive. If anyone was
foolish enought to plug a big load into it, the fuse would blow. Fuse
protecting tehncable.
