But the idea of using lots of different fuses for plug tops is downright

That fact that stuff comes with a pre-fitted plug these days, has lead
to a generation that now no longer know how to fit one, and in many
cases probably probably don't even know what a fuse looks like.

And looking increasingly like they'll forever be renters, will never
know what the inside of a DIY store looks like either. Have you
noticed all the punters in those places are the wrong side of 50
nowadays?
