Totally agreed. And why they haven't caught on to the idea of putting a
fuse in the plug, I have no idea. Most plugs there now are moulded onto
the end of the cable.

In theory, each US socket is on its own radial with its own circuit
breaker.

UK fuse in the plug is to protect the flex (maximum 13 amp) as the circuit
is capable of 30 amps or so.
