    Better to put the fuse in your pocket, as we were taught to do by the foreman back in my apprentice days, and always test upon return to the job - some fitter might have found another fuse ‘that’ll fit' during your absence!

    I have asked my self whether it is sufficient in a domestic situation to remove the fuse from a switch fuse and put it in my pocket, or should the carrier be locked? My conclusion was that the householder is unlikely to have a spare BS88-3 fuse and if he did find one and put it in, knowing that I was working on the installation, the police and the coroner might ask some awkward questions.
