putting a switch on the plugs in my house?

Hmm, in the UK the goverment is always harping on about turning off appliances when you are not using them. Supposedly, leaving a TV on standby uses almost as much electric as when its turned on- true or false I dont know, but I always turn the TV off with its power button, but leaving it switched on at the wall is fine. The only items turned on 24/7 are the fridge & vcr, everything else is either turned off at the wall, or switched off with its on/off button.
