For some Strange reason we have three Circuits running in the Kitchen i think for two OLD Cookers and a Ring Circuit for the house.
Well the Toaster has Tripped the Two Radial Circuits and tried it in the House Ring and it tripped that.
I did wire up the sheds on its own Consumer unit and it doesnt trip .

To me it seems to suggest that the Toaster is the Final thing over loading Each Circuit breatk but because outside has Nothing running on it its happy!
 
What is tripping an mcb or rcbo.

MCB are tripping (cant do a short sweet message can you)
 
This points towards the toaster being faulty and there being a problem with tbe protective device(s) in the shed supply

BUT it works on the Shed Circuit!

Funny enough it was a Fruit Bun i was Trying to Toast the First time it Tripped so maybe
BUT i did pick off the Currents as i know they burn easy

Got to watch these currents, if enough of them are going to the wrong place, something will trip out.

I know this from personal experience...
 
However, I would be concerned about your shed circuit, as said above

You'll find current going up as voltage is raisin.
