You get an electrician in, as you clearly don't have a clue what you are doing.
To old know all: Really? How do you figure that. My house was built in the 70s and has 5,15,& 30 amp rewireable fuses at the distribution board. And my house doesn't need re-wiring.

re-wireing isnt always needed just because the fuse box is old, im presuming that the board takes re-wireable fuses (BS 3036) there is nothing that says you cant use these but they are no longer installed.
As it would seem that you are installing a new circuit you should really allow this work to be done by a qualified electrician who is Part P registered (proving competance) to meet all building regs requirements. If you are determined to do the work yourself then wire into the 15A fuseholder in 2.5mm twin and earth cable this is on the pressumption that the socket is being installed indoors. all Appliances plugged into this will be fused at 13A via the plug top so if wired correctly you will never be able to draw more than 13A

It needs a new cable from the fuse box.Beleive me it is not a job for you and remember their is no protection in the fuse box.You would be playing with live mains,get a competant electrician in to do the work.

You don't. If you've got a 5 and 15 amp fuseway, it's over 50 years old and you need rewiring urgently.
