7A fused plug

[pc1966]

While visiting some friends down south I noticed they still had the cardboard wiring info on their coffee maker, so removed it as not for final use. What was curious is it specifies a 7A fuse, and while I have seen and used some odd ones before (e.g. 1A, 10A) this first time I have seen on fitted to a mass market product!

TL;DR anyone seen unusual fuses before?

It's really quite bizarre how the alpha betty spaghetti spells out words some times. ?

If you're going to use this word you could at least spell it correctly lol!

I'm happy to have learned a new word - not sure how much I'll use it though. Wonder if I can get it into "comments on existing installation" later this morning.....

Yep, that would sum it up...
Or maybe....as it is the house of a highly educated GP...
"While originally competently installed the trajectory of creative and poorly executed extensions and modifications have been somewhat orthogonal to BS7671 ever since."

Anyone with a smattering of organic chemistry will recognise the orthaganols. They are like regular aliphatic alcohols but having been invented by electricians they have unusual bond angles held in place by cable ties. The simplest is:

Nothing wrong with a bit of alcohol….aliphatic or not!

Unless he has a side-line selling non-ferrous metals I don't think it's his number!

Ah, that would be a stockholder we use.. They send out notepads made to look like a stack of ali sheets on a wooden pallet.
