    this is something I’ve heard a lot from people in the UK, do UK electronics not have switches on them or something? all electronics I’ve ever seen living in the US have a power switch on them, do you think we unplug our stuff to turn them off?

      I didn’t know you people had only one of them.

      I have:

      1. A switch on my appliance
      2. A switch on each socket of my extension board
      3. A switch on the wall
      4. An MCB connected to groups of sockets
      5. An MCB for the whole house
      6. A circuit breaker on the nearby distribution station
      7. A circuit breaker in the power plant
      8. A generator start/stop system in the power plant

      Lots of devices have status lights and other circuutry that still gets powered when “off”. Its not a huge difference, but its nice to skip the unnecessary draw.
