I remember my Old Man back in the day when the fuse wire burnt out in the box. (Old council houses.) The were coils of various grades of fuse wire sat on top of the box and as I watched him replace the wire with a double wrap, I told him that was a bad idea. The fuse was there for a purpose and what was needed was to locate the reason why it blew.
"That's what I'm doing," he replied.
"Keep doubling up then walk around the house in search of a burning smell !!!"
Talk about living dangerously ....
