hi, I have got a problem with a blue 15 amp fuse which keeps on blowing all the time when i put on two or more appliances together. Does anyone know if this is right. Seems to me this is a ring circuit.

sure its a ring? rings are normally 30A. it might be a radial. unless your 100% its a ring, and wired in 2.5, DONT change the fuse to 30A (chances are its a radial tho)
If it is a radial, wired in 2.5mm², the fuse is doing its job. Though the fact you have a 15A radial on an old fuse would tell me its time for a PIR (periodic inspection), to check for other problems you may have (old wiring, bits and bats added on over the years).

doesnt matter if its a ring or not, 15a fuse is blowing becuse you are using too much current.
if your wiring is old it sounds like time for a rewire to accomodate your new demand, and no you cant change the fuse to a bigger one
