I have a daughter that lives in the UK. Never understood why they
need to be so large, why they have a switch. Seems like unnecessary
cost etc. Fused plug is just one more thing to fail and cost you.
I do like 220 everywhere. I wonder if it is referenced to earth ground?
Seems like it would be safer to float it. And with 220 your wires
can be so much smaller.

If we really wanted everything to be safe we would use shuttered
BS1363 (UK code) receptacles with fused plugs, even for 120VAC 15A
circuits.
Most people in the US have never worked with them, but they're very
mechanically robust and safe.

We added an addition to the quarters at the ambulance I worked
for, I came in just as the electircian was finishing up and saw
them all ground up. I told him I didnt want to be "that guy" but
they were upside down. He explained the reason, said it was code
too, but ive never verified that, but the reason makes sense, so
ground up ever since for me

Same as the proper way to pronounce the word “often”.
(Rhymes with soften).
I am OK with being totally right and nobody agreeing with
me.

Yeah, probably no box, just drywall for the photo.
But I would say the receptacle is upside down too.
