Very true, one house i bought of early 1970's vintage on a large housing
development, had the ring main wired into 2 different fuses in the same
fusebox (yes they were fuses).

I wondered why i couldn't isolate the ring main by withdrawing just the
one fuse.


There was a time that it was not uncommon to join two 15A radial
circuits like this to make a single 30A ring.
