It's difficult at the moment. I'm looking after a lot of local small works, like walking distance for customers I have a relationship with. I went to wire a blind the other day and out of 5 people on site no one had a mask and I was probably the only one who had not been vaccinated. Other clients are calling to say they had to have a test before they can go back to work but you've already been on site with them so now you have to cancel your appointments until they get an all clear.
There are plenty of trades ignoring a lot of possible problems but no surprise there!
With your Wylex you keep the fuse in your pocket, sure someone could move a fuse and it probably will happen in a million monkeys sense.
Single function voltage testers should have a voltage tester tester that proves it and yes you should keep checking that all the time if you have them. If you are going to do your own electrics buy one when you are young and pray you live long enough to make it worth the money. :)
I agree that switching the main switch off is good practice for beginners and the untrained.
