I had to buy some plugs the other day after I dug out my old modems
and they didn't have any plugs on them... (I think I had had them
wired into somehting else, way back when.)   Only plugs I could find
had 13A fuses in them,  It then cost me more than it did for the plug
for a pack of about five 3A fuses... daft!!
