Default Re: Bodges

Not sure whether it counts as a 'bodge' but more than once I've seen the live-pin-and-fuse of a BS1363 plug replaced by a neutral-pin scored from another plug so it's fuseless.

Typically on things like electric welders, which take quite a nasty surge-current. Given the intermittent duty-cycle, plugs bodged in this way don't seem to suffer the expected self-immolation when asked to pass 25A or so.
