Just to feed the flames, here are some interesting statistics (2011)
concerning electrical safety:

UK:
Total number of households: 26.4 million
Total number of household fires due to electric issues: 20400

US:
Total number of households: 115 million
Total number of household fires due to electric issues: 47700

WTF, UK?
