   It's a genuine question. What is it likely someone possesses which draws   
   more than 13 amps and comes with a 13 amp plug - necessitating replacing   
   the 13 amp fuse with a nail?   
   Perhaps the obvious one would be an extension lead with multiple socket   
   outlets. But then that can be overloaded with your favourite radials too.

   You just have a bee in your bonnet which simply isn't born out by   
   statistics after some 60 years of final ring circuits. It is an extremely   
   safe, versatile and economic design. Far better than the alternatives.   
   When used where it is designed for.
