All yours UK pin plugs are upside down (confirmed on Flint2, Brume2, Marble and BerylAX).
It's a bit annoying when I try to organize the cables 
The standard BS1363 can be used as reference.

But the right way for UK plugs on some cruise ships and hotels!

Can't you just rotate the adapter?
No. Their adapter was design to be assembled in a single position

More that the socket is positioned such that it is hard to safely plug it in or bend the cable out of the way.
I'm not understanding you
Do you agree with me that the correct position is the ground pin on the top and the cord going down?
If so, do you also agree with me that GL-iNet adapters are wrong?
Not sure of the BSI or ISO standard that would specify orientation. But it is what we are used to in the UK.
Over the years I have had many power units that route the cable from the earth side pin.
I think it is a subjective choice whether people think this is right or wrong.
It's BS1363 which will result the power cord cord at the opposite side of the earth pin.
It's quite annoying the GL-iNet adapter with the power cord going up
If you don't like GL-inet adapter then try use own adapter with usb c with specific voltages.
This is not the case.
I'm simply letting them know that their design is upside down.
Yes, it's quite bizarre, particularly when you see them plugged into a wall socket like the one in the first photo.
BS1363 Standard could be used as reference to avoid these things...
If you see plastic on an earth plug, there is no need for an earth wire inside the adapter. Also, no fuse even that travel adapter.
Yes, but the earth pin in the UK is also used to open the shutters (for the live and neutral).
GL-iNet is on the left.
D-Link is on the right.
The pin lengths are specified. Both adapters have the longer earth pin. So earth insertion will be the first event and the gate opening will be the same.
This is common for plugs with interchangeable heads. I've got more than a few of them.
The cable supplied with the Flint 2 is really short, so I actually prefer that it comes out of the top of the plug. Otherwise, a little of the cable would be wasted to loop back up, since you'd typically have the router up higher than the socket.

Since the GL router is in order to compatible with more power plugs in different country, it is convenient for users to reduce the necessary trouble when traveling as well, so the power pin of the adapter is a design that can be replaced.
But this highly compatible replaced design for British pin, it may be a bit special, so it seems be upside down.
I have the same problem in my Home (Hong Kong). Not good design but cannot do anything about it.
