If I was Sir Tigger's wife/partner though I would still take advantage of the situation and push for a nice, new, up to date, fridge freezer!

Typical response from a woman! 

Always looking for an opportunity to go shopping!   

Too true!!

is there not still such a thing as a motor fuse? ie it allows a shed load of amps for the initial start up of the motor but will blow if the motor starts to pull a high current in use

most big motors have start capacitors ,or starter relays etc ,HRC fuse links are outdated and used on domestic portable appliances/ stuff

fuses will take double the rating for so long before blowing ,some will happily glow away for half an hour before calling time

I could find a informative video if anyone is interested 

I suspect many OOFers still have wylex rewirable fuses in t'lectric cupboard

It's a bugger when they blow in the dark and your wife has run out of candles.

Nahh, you just stick a handy screwdriver/knife/fork between the prongs and shove it in, then worry about fixing it properly the next morning.

Fixed that for you 

personally ,I feel safer with my MK 21 way multi RCD ,RCBO, MCB board looking after such matters , electric is expensive, don't like the idea of it leaking all over the place

Plugged our new fridge in and switched it on...

Ten minutes later, a loud pop and everything went off...

Turns out the dog had taken a liking to the plug

She had damaged enough of the insulation that when she went back for a second go, she pinched the live and neutral together

Fortunately no harm done
