Any sparkies about? House wiring question

[toseland]

My Nans bungalow (late 60s) has the original fuse wire board...  I've not seen one break at all!  Definitely not in the last 3 years as she'd have to call us to replace it...  Much less of a pain than switches that trip out every time you pop a light bulb.

but also the fact that your body can quite happily conduct 13 amps with enough resistance not to reach the burn point of the fuse wire,  whilst setting fire to your hair and boiling your vital fluids, ...


i would much rather have RCDs that need resetting every time a fuse blows thankyou
