As for BS1362 fuses, there was quite a few fake ones about a year or two ago, I personally had one explode, it was one from a packet bought from a well known high st discount store and had all the relevant correct markings.
Ken.
So, if sleeved earth pins do not comply with British safety standards, who is (supposedly) doing 'what' about it? The amount of dangerous electrical stuff coming in from you know where has been happening for years, and still it comes! I mean, in this example, the item came from Argos, not a market stall in a run down area? Why aren't all those involved being taken to book? Do we not care? Is the tide too large to ward off?
