UK's are hilariously over-engineered. Might as well have a puzzle mechanism on the back, to make sure you really meant to power that toaster.

Breakers in every socket are a neat idea, though. And power switches at the socket make a lot more sense than US homes where some wall switches control some sockets, somewhere. Good luck!
