Your taking the p*ss aren't you, has your wife never run over the

lead and damaged it, or worn the iron lead through on the ironing
board
etc., she must be one in a million....

Then the fuse blows. If on a radial, you'd have a fire. Unless
using
something like 2.5mm flex.


You really don't understand this do you, the radial would not be
rated at anymore than the 16 amps people keep telling me that all
appliance flex's have to be rated for now - OTOH, if the BS1363 plug
fuse has been bridged by some idiot.....
