FYI, I can't remember which way round it is, but only some of the UK 3-pronged adapters are actually earthed (as I discovered after having this problem myself).

I think it's the extension cord that is properly earthed, whereas just the plug attachment that goes directly into the power brick is not. You can tell by looking up into the adapter (the part that plugs into the power brick) and seeing if it's metal or plastic...
