Yes indeed but doesn`t the socket carry the earth pin not the plug? the
plug has a female part to accept the earth and an external metal strip
which is also earth. The idea is that the earth makes contact first (if
the pin is present in the socket!)
Isn't that the German plug that 'Brussels' wanted us to adopt in the UK
to be in line with the rest of Europe?

The design of the adaptor is a tiny brass or P-Bronze spring is supposed to
engage with a recessed earth point on the German plug, a point that an earth
pin can be screwed into but has to be removed to use this adaptor.
