    Where everyone else in the world puts them, in the device itself.

      Really? Hadn't noticed a fuse in my iron.

        Some irons have a thermal fuse. It wouldn't make sense to put a thermal fuse in a power plug. Apart from that I have no idea. I do notice though that British plugs are designed so you can't pull them out by the cord. That's probably a safety thing although I think I'd find it very annoying ;-)

          They are mostly shaped with a grip ridge. The few that aren't are indeed infuriating! Have to say that the UK safety standards can make us careless. There was the time that I turned on a light switch while standing in a bath of water in a hotel in Cairo. Who puts switches in a bathroom? Pull cords, please. It just did not occur to me that the electricity in other places might be a tad more accessible than at home. Oh dear Jen. :(

          Thanks for the handy tidbit of knowledge and useful site. :)
