Oven and Hob Cable over current protection

Yes, 6mm. Don't know where 10 came from.

no, it was personal joke, dont mind me,

The breaker is there to protect cable. If you go down at the outlet to something that can't handle 32A then you would need to put a fuse in.

I thought as much, but hoped otherwise. Maybe I'll be lucky and the oven will come with 4mm flex.

Just to check - I can fuse down using an FCU, or a BS1363 plug and socket?

I presume connecting a 2.4KW oven into the kitchen ring would be frowned upon? I seem to recall anything over 2KW should be dedicated circuit. Just want to be clear on all the options.

but why if it is designed already to take nearly 3kw

yes this is what they say. but if you bought a tumble dryer you wouldnt do this, you would just plug it in. however a fixed applience should have an accesable means of isolation
