Up to a point, that's true.
But as Bob61 stated 5.5 years ago (Blimey, this is an old thread!  ) If the site offers a 16A supply, and your equipment total equates to 13A, for example, the site's supply may not trip out, but your own EHU lead could still trip, if it is the most common 10A variety.
We have a low watt kettle (small and slow, but there's only two of us, and we have a lot of patience!) and a fan heater with 750w & 1500w settings.
We started switching the heater off for the kettle... then tried turning it down to the 750 setting when the kettle went on... I'm not saying what we tried next, but thus far, we have got away it!
