Inspired by OG's post a couple of days ago: The Lounge[^]

I needed a couple of extra USB charging points for some kit I'm testing. The nearest thing to hand was a European twin USB charger. I'm in the UK so it wouldn't fit the mains socket. However, I have an adapter so I fished it out. The adapter didn't work; I suspected the internal fuse. I dug out my multimeter to check the fuse but the multimeter battery was flat. I disassembled the multimeter, found replacement batteries and reassembled it. Checked the fuse - yes, it was blown. Found a replacement fuse but it wouldn't fit. It was nominally a 20mm fuse but it was 22mm long and the adapter was fussy. I disassembled the adapter to see if I could free a bit more space for the fuse but decided it would be too much hassle. After a bit more rummaging, I found a 20mm fuse that was only 20mm long. Fitted the new fuse, plugged in the adapter, plugged the charger into the adapter ... all working fine now.
It had only taken me 20 minutes, and it had saved me walking to the other side of the house to get another USB charger! Time for a cuppa!
