Any idea where I could find some? The lights in my fathers house have blown. None in the big Tesco, which has instead every kind of useless item imaginable.
Any person within a mile or so of CF11 9QB who might have some spare sitting on a shelf at home?

Try Asda, they seem to have a fair selection of everyday electrical stuff such as bulbs, plugs etc - its usually kept around where they stock their TV's etc.
There's one on Cardiff Gate and another one down in Grangetown near to Ikea (forgot the name of the trading estate).
BTW, I'm not sure if they are open 24 hours or shut at 8.00pm

D.M. Procida formulated the question :
Strip the outer cover of some ordinary flexible cable, strip the inner insulation from one wire, then remove one single strand of the core and use that as a temporary fuse wire. Note:- I meant _one strand_, which will be of a similar size to the original fuse wire.
In article , D.M. Procida writes
5A fuse wire is 35swg (0.2mm) tinned copper, as a short term replacement cut a single strand from some spare flex. 3A flex is commonly 16/0.2, 6A 24/0.2 and 13A 40/0.2, count the strands to check before using and do check the circuit. Replace with proper stuff asap."D.M. Procida" wrote in message news:1hbfs7q.mdqlwk11wgrtoN% snipped-for-privacy@apple-juice.co.uk...
Far too late now but I'd expect a corner shop to be better at that kind of stuff than the Supers, try along Albany Road
ah :/ Do replace the copper strand with proper fuse wire soon, as its characteristics are not as satisfactory.

Er, fuse wire is/was manufactured from the same copper strands with the identical conductivity as flex. If tinned flex is used which precisely matches the cross sectional area it will have exactly the properties of the equivalent fuse wire.
