While I agree with Oliver Mallia (August 25) that all appliances sold in Malta should have a three-pin plug, there is absolutely no need to drive knives, pens, etc. into earth sockets to plug in appliances with two-pin plugs. All good hardware stores and DIY shops stock adapters. These are not expensive and it’s worth having a couple in the house. Maybe the government should make importers of two-pin plug appliances supply one of these adapters with their product.
