respect. A simple ban on them would suffice, not that many are fitted

Well they are depricated in the regs - so as you say it is unlikely that
many more will be fitted. No reason to rip out all the existing ones
until their natural end of life though.


More to the point, a ban on re wireable fuses at the same time as a ban on
unlicensed electrical work and a restriction on the supply of anything more
than standard 13 amp plugs would mean far more work for a few over priced
licensed electricians. Me cynical, no.....
