16A Commando socket question.

[Sharpend]

I think sockets have 20A max stamped on the rear WHICH EVERYONE SEES  :slap

Am I the only one who writes this on the front of the socket????

Why?

So you over current protection for that 16amp socket is the 20 MCB that can't be right 

but what comes with  16A commando socket fitted?

Now I have seen overloaded 16A commando socket, used to supply a burger van, but that is bad design of the van, and whoever built it should have allowed for the electrical demand being higher than the socket could cope with. Even then this particular installation only burns out the commando socket about once every 4 years.
