	Well, I've never seen power sockets with on/off switches in any country I've ever been to, so perhaps that's an Australian thing! Tom

It's also a British / Irish thing.

	It's a world thing - they are called circuit breakers. All modern homes have these in preference to fuses. Circuit breakers are very sensitive, but you don't need to nip to Migros each time one trips...

Yes, but circuit breakers on the socket?

That I have rarely seen, except on some outdoor sockets.

And on/off switches (which is what the poster wrote), never.

Thanks for the help guys but I just needed to remove it a i put it on again.

In Portugal every houses have on/off switches. These circuit breakers were new for me.

Regards.
