Yea I know, I said that.

People still call them fuse boxes though.

Yea I know, I’ve wired a plug.

Never seen a fuse in a socket though. That comment is completely wrong and yet it’s the most up voted reply.

Never seen a house without a fuse box either.

Why are people saying this?

I’ve lived in multiple UK houses and never once seen a socket with a fuse. Are you saying this was change way way back in the day?

All houses have fuse boxes (which then got upgraded to circuit breakers). Not one fuses in sockets. Would be a fucking nightmare to take the socket off and change a fuse.
