While I don't disagree with you, in principle, your 'best practice' is somewhat UK-centric. Almost no regular sockets in the US are switched, so we usually don't have a choice!Unplugging from a live socket is not the best practice. Post a photo. if you can of the marks.

Your response is somewhat US-centric. The UK isn't the only country that uses type G sockets/plugs. Plus there are many that don't use either the US type or the UK type. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mains_ele ... _and_plugs
