How is protecting a 3A rated appliance at 30A more safe when some
idiot wraps a bit of wire around the blown fuse?...

You trying to say people didn't ever use the wrong fuse wire in
radial
circuits?

No, I'm not saying that, It would be crazy to (go back and) use wire
fuses a the fix circuit protection on radial circuits - just as it's
with ring circuits today, MCB'S are the way things are going.


Or saying that nobody would ever change an MCB that kept tripping
in an
overloaded radial to an unsuitable one in a workshop, etc?


But that requires some thought, anyone from a child to an OAP can,
has and will replace a BS1363 type plug fuse with the wrong rating at
some point - accidentally or intentionally.
