   All the 'old' round 3 pin sockets still comply to UK regs - provided they   
   are on a suitable circuit. A common use is for floor or table lamps   
   switched from the wall, etc. If on a dimmer, plugging the hoover into that   
   wouldn't be a good idea...   
   Some of the modern versions available are shuttered.
