Is it normal that a socket only gives electricity when the plug is plugged in one way?

I bought this type fF to type gG power adapter for using my norwegianNorwegian laptop etc in UK.

It only works if I put the charger plug in one way into the adapter, but if I switch it around so that the different legs of the plug go into the other entry holeholes in the adapter, then it does not work.

Is this normal? Did I get a defective power adapter?

Thanks very much for the help! Also, feel free to move this to a different stackexchange website.
