Sure you are. The rest of us muggles just have a ridiculous number of devices.

Ganged outlets ("power bars"), with individual device switches, are pretty much the only low-tech answer, I fear. But that's not a UK only solution. You folks do have the added burden of those humongous plugs for everything.

One tip is to ensure the switches are easily accessible, and not buried beneath a table or desk.

A back-burner project of mine here, is to finally assemble a solid-state relay box to let my 24/7 server switch things on/off on demand, like extra hard drives, lights, etc.. The server itself stays on, but it only chews about 18W or so, steady state.

Cheers
