    Sorry Z I don't follow.


    The 2nd bit I translate as "Where is Quiz", but the first question I find ambiguous. By 'wire fuses' I guess you mean rewireable fuses (cartridge fuses often have a wire within the cartridge of course) - cartridge fuses certainly have some advantages of rewirables - e.g. larger breaking capacity, lower fusing factor (close rather than course in old money), and reduced risk of replacement with something with a higher rating - but on the other hand rewirables are far less expensive to 'mend', easier to diagnose blown or not by eye, and if you still have a bit of card wrapped with three types of fusewire, but no spare cartridge of the correct rating, rewirables can be more convenient too.

    Huh? Surely you just wrap the fuse wire across the failed cartridge and reinsert? Or are you telling me we're not allowed to do that any more? It's H&S gone mad!!!

    Andy you are one of the sharpest knives in the draw. Well done. I bet that you are a Times' crossword man. The fuse issue is just 3.1.13.15.21.6.12.1.7.5 to beat the 13.15.4.19. who like to remove stuff. I prefer cartridge fuses filled with sand myself.
