That's because there isn't any for the appliance on a radial, unless you
also use a fused plug. Don't you understand even the basics?
The fuse in the plug protects the appliance wiring. That in the CU, the
house wiring. Unless you want dedicated radials for each and every
appliance, correctly sized.

as often happens on 30A ring when the fuse
blows and they don't have a spare. The temporary measure of a piece of
copper end a permanent one. That is clear.

So you think everyone has a supply of pieces of copper but not spare fuses?

So take that copper wire out of your 13A plugs now.

You seem an expert on doing this. Another use for your hacksaw - cutting
up copper rod to make fuses. Oblivious of the fact that it costs more than
fuses which can be bought at any 24 hour convenience store.

Knowing your electrical 'knowledge' you probably think a lump of copper
will let through more electricity than a fuse, and improve the performance
of your cheap rubbish power tools.
