A common adapter supplied with many ebay products from China that has quite a few design flaws. This exciting device allows you to:-
Plug in upside down defeating the earth connection.
Plug in with pins hanging out posing a shock risk.
Plug in between live and earth posing a shock hazard on ALL electrical appliances on that circuit if the circuits earth is not intact.
The pins can be a non compliant size and damage sockets,
The brass coloured coating can flake off the underlying metal leaving metal flakes inside your wall sockets.
Defeats the safety shutter mechanism used on UK sockets, allowing metal objects to be poked into live metalwork.
Tends to make very poor physical and electrical connection with many plugs.
