An item on this morning's TV news, made mention of a ceiling light/fan, which simply plugs into a ceiling light socket - hanging on the flex. The article seemed to suggest the fans were being sold by Screwfix, though it seems very unlikely.

A dangerous and crazy idea - every time the fan is switched on, the reverse torque winds up the flex, so eventually the flex will fail.

This sort of thing....

They aren't supposed to fitted to light sockets with a flex, only fixed ones.
