I think the switches on electric sockets are relatively new. I say sockets because the plugs aren't the things on the wall, they're the things you plug into them. Yes, I'm a pedant. We didn't have them when I was young. But most homes have then now. In my home all the sockets have switches and I like to turn off the one that the tv is plugged into as well as switching off the tv itself. Saves a lot of money if the tv isn't just on "standby" mode. The one in the kitchen that I plug the freezer into has a switch too. But I would never turn it off unless I was defrosting the thing. If I had a more modern freezer with an auto defrost I suppose I wouldn't even need to do that. No sockets in my bathroom. I keep the charger for the electric toothbrush in the kitchen. Cheers is used everywhere in the UK to mean "thanks". And very occasionally goodbye. If it hasn't been toasted it's not toast. Mass produced square sliced loaves are generally not as tasty or as good for your digestion as traditional bread (and I don't like buying or eating them) but it's still bread and not toast. Until you toast it. There is a brand of white thick-sliced bread called "Toastie" but nobody would call it toast until they had toasted it. (Yes, I'm still a pedant) I've never slept in a bed with two separate mattresses. I think you can buy them in the UK but they aren't standard at all. A duvet is a Scandinavian style quilt rather than a blanket. They have a system for different thicknesses called tog numbers. The higher the tog number, the thicker the duvet and the warmer you will be. I can never remember what any of the numbers signify and have to feel the thickness before buying one. Cheers......

These videos are not really "in WHEREEVER, they do this", I think - they seem much more like they are relating the personal experiences of what people find surprising about living in WHEREVER and don't necessarily generalise across that country. So I'm not going to generalise in my reply. In my personal experience in NZ ... All the power sockets in my house have a switch. Including the one in the bathroom for shaver/toothbrush. Some of my plug boards have no switches, some have a single switch for all the sockets, and some have a switch for each socket. I don't use "cheers" for saying "thanks" or "goodbye", but I would understand it in context. We can get some lower-strength, non-prescription medicines in the supermarket like paracetamol. If you need to fill a doctor's presciption or want general pharmaceutical advice you go to a pharmacy. However, some supermarkets have a pharmacy and things like, say, a hair-dresser within the same parking area. I don't go through a lot of bread myself - sometimes bread rolls. But in my supermarket, I could take any bread loaf from their racks and ask them to "toast" slice it i.e. cut it into thick slices intended for toasting - I don't do that often though.

I think you are right about the generalisation issue. Thank you for sharing your personal experience though :)

Thank you for sharing your experience. :) The toast part is the most surprising to me. Because we call a "Toast" a toast, even if it´s not toasted yet :D Also I had no idea about Tog numbers. :) Cheers :)
