A fun read!
I feel compelled to say that all British (type G plugs) _have_ to be fused as the ring main has a maximum current of (typically) 30A yet the plug and socket maximum is 13A. So every appliance plug is fused, and the consumer unit has an RCD on most accessible circuits in addition to a circuit breaker.
Some plugs don't make the fuse obvious, but the traditional values are 1A, 3A, 5A, 7A, 10A and 13A (iirc -- for some reason!)
There are actually many features of the British and European wiring system that I think are really quite good. The device is closely related to a "smart meter", which are being slowly rolled out -- the UI is similar to those rolled out nationally, but it's a bit different.

Keep exploring (and don't play with the mains!)
