After you read Foxy Ralph's notes, and when you get there. If your appliance
doesnt work when you plug it in, switch on the outlet, many sockets in Aus
are switched

Actually, most people here rarely see one that is not switched. They're
generally only used for fixed installations; all GPOs (General Purpose
Outlets) are switched as shown in Ralph's picture.

Another little difference - we switch the switch down for "on" and up
for "off" - directly opposite to many countries, including the USA.

Those Italians are funny people. They have one tap marked "F" for cold
water and the other marked "C" for warm.

Cold and C**T it's HOT? Nah, I'd suggest the former rather than the latter.....
