Good for her. Like I said, you must be very proud.

Yesterday, after the thunderstorms, my partner used her computer, but there was a constant buzzing/arcing from the 4-way on my side.

A kick of the plug revealed a potential loose circuit within the plug, and her clock had reset itself, and her computer had been going off randomly.

So I made her unplug it, to prevent electrocution to myself, and today tightened up its connections. They were twist type connections strangely, and a 10A fuse fitted? I thought fuses came in 3, 5 and 13A configurations?

Sorting it out under the new energy saving bulbs that we have to use put a strain on my eyes.

Fuses come in many ratings.

But in domestic wiring I've only ever seen 3, 5 and 13A fuses. Internally I've seen anything from 350mA to 60A fuses, but never a 10A fuse in a plug!

You've not been in many plugs then. They're not particularly common, but not exactly unheard of. I have a box full of them, along with 3A, 5A, and 13A. Also easily available are 1A, 2A, and 7A.

You're a pedantic Fecker Monkeh!

As of this weekend I've plasterboarded a ceiling and removed knacked plaster from the chimney breast, sawn up the doors etc. from the wardrobes I'd previously ripped out, got rid of the bath , filled several bags of rubbish and after I've finished my cup of tea I'm going to start tiling the toilet and repair a fence if I have the time

Why, because I happen to know what fuses are available?
