Hi Gunther,

Your points were well taken by me, and also the additional information from Brian218. I sought to make a very general point about touching a radiator (or rad as we call them in the uk) if A recent install or any major re plumbing has taken place, will generally find under the floor has been plumbed using plastic piping and just have copper tails coming out of the floor to please people. Is done for speed mainly and also the high prices of copper tubing. Hence the reason wish to urge caution with people thinking this is good enough.  As Brian and Gunther suggest we need a good wrist strap to take us back to earth potential. ESD was really invented for a reason. Two birds sat on serioius power lines, they don't see earths potential ;-)
