No you tit. The socket doesn't have a fuse in it. You _may_ know that it's on the lighting circuit, but in 10 years who will be living in the house?

Have the damned thing changed to a 5A socket (or another _appropriate_ socket). Don't do it yourself, you don't have a clue!

Novel. Have you decide to leave it alone yet?

Well, they know more than you or I by all accounts. Think I'll leave them to get on with it.
