Why do so many UK electrical sockets have an on/off switch next to them?
Why do so many UK electrical sockets have an on/off switch next to them?
They're like that in this apartment we're renting and I keep seeing them elsewhere. I don't get it.

I like the integration of the switch, should be standard. I use many switch plug-ins just to avoid stand-by consumption (it really adds up over the year) and to avoid high pitch humming on some devices.
YSK: there's also remote controls for these switches, very handy
I'm not an electrician, but wouldn't remote control imply that something still remains on standby? So that it can receive a wake-up signal, if nothing else.
Indeed so but the power draw is very miniscule.
