strung together this:

But is a 16 amp radial circuit for sockets acceptable?

There's no requirement, it's just a recommendation I suppose. You can
have socket outlets on 3A or 50A circuits, as long as the cables and
accessories are correct.

That is what I thought.

A history question. As I see far more 15 amp fuse wired radials than 20 amp
radials, did something change in the regs years ago to alter the rating of
radials from 15 to 20 amp? The usual fuse wire is 5, 15 and 30 amps wound
onto a piece of cardboard but I occasionally find 20 amp fuse wire on some
of these cardboard dinosaurs.
