It would be like turning off
your microwave oven at the wall every time you'd finished cooking.

But you can if you want to or need to.

Cite the legislation requiring a microwave to be connected to an
accessible switched outlet.

The rule that GPOs have to have a switch.

I said ACCESSIBLE. Mine or example is sited in front of the socket.
I'd
have to pull the microwave out to get to it.

Still accessible. Even you should be able to manage that.

Not when the microwave is on fire or electrified, which is presumably
what
the silly rule is for.


It isnt a silly rule.


Then state a reason for it.


For when someone hasn't been stupid enough to
shove the appliance in front of the GPO and switch.
