  1. In Australia if you plug an active appliance into a powered socket you can often hear the crackle of the bad electrical contact being made. Not a desirable situation. Our usual power switch is designed to make this circuit contact very quickly to prevent sparking and heating of contacts. Assuming you have quality switches. Not always the case with some brands on the market.

  2. My Australian old childhood family home built in the early fifties had mixer taps giving a single outlet for all hot water taps except the bathroom hand basin. So nearly seventy years ago. Similar with first home I bought myself. Another fifties house. Current home has single lever mixer taps in all the three bathrooms and two kitchens. All no gap toilets. First home with AC, but the evaporative type that does not cope on humid days. Must get some proper reverse cycle AC. He is describing Europe for most things, so not really the rest of the world.
