Higher amps in my garage

Just seems like the fuse would blow all the time.

I was fine doing little bits of car body repair but when I bought a secondhand, extremely rusty tractor bucket and tried to do some extensive patching on it, many foot-square 5mm plates on top of even bigger slabs of 5mm plate.. no chance. pop, pop, pop, one after another.

Which way round are live and neutral supposed to go in the 16A commando style plug & socket in the UK?

As well as the markings, if you hold the 16A in the same orientation as a 13A the pins are in the same relative positions. E.g. for a plug with pins facing away from you and earth at the top, line is on the right.

Good way to remember it, thanks.
