Do other people turn the fridge off when going on holiday? I can’t manage to reach the plug to switch it off at the socket.

Why would you do that?

The fridge is about the only electrical item I DO leave on. I try to make sure everything will be in date when I get back (not always successfully!)

Not that I go on trips of more than a few days now.

No never, I'm away for 2 months at a time.
I sometimes have random people staying at mine, so I don't want them fiddling with the appliances.

Not "dodgy" random, I mean various people I know and trust!

We did, years ago, and used to drain down the water system, too, but it’s not something we’ve done for decades now. In fact, I’d forgotten we used to do that until I saw this thread!

Have never thought of doing this . There is always something inside that needs refrigeration while we are away.
