Nowadays its standard practice, albeit not very popular, to put

It's not common so I wouldn't be surprised if people swap the 5 A
round pin to 13 A socket so it can be "more useful". Leaving the
wall
switch on and not caring about which circuit it is on...

But that would not be unsafe,

Electrically but 1.2 kW isn't a big load when used to just plugging
in and using. I'd expect the average hover to trip a 6 A MCB at
switch on, thus turning the lights off.
