Why would an electrician install a 10 mm twin and earth circuit protected by a B32 MCB for a 8.5 kW shower?

Whilst driving to the job on Friday I listened to the Wake Up To Money podcasts on the BBC Iplayer, one of the subjects of discussion was the closure of the Honda car factory after thirty five years with around 4,500 people losing their jobs. Then then followed a general discussion about Japanese car manufacturers. Apparently Toyota are doing far better than their rivals because they switched from “Just in time” deliveries to a “Just in case“ system which means they actually carry some stock to avoid delivery issues.
I am finding I am having to to do the same, because wholesalers and firms like Screwfix are operating a “A day or two too late” delivery system, I am sure this is leading to some people “making things fit” to get things completed rather than doing a proper job with the correct parts.
So I’m at the point of doubling some stock so I can replenish the van stock when I get home in the evening to save messing about, I am not talking about a big amount of stock, it’s variety rather than quantity, particularly with MCBs that are only worth a couple or three quid each.
But having said that I have seven good electricians under rating MCBs and RCBOs by design.
