"This appliance must be earthed"

That's why equipotential bonding is required for the pipework.

You will be either pleased or disgusted to know that I got fed up with a trailing lead to the earthed socket, and have the amplifier plugged into an uneathered one.

I reckoned that since the amplifier has run happily since 1988 without showing any signs of shorting live to the chassis, it's not likely to do it spontaneously now. Also, the cable across the floor was a hazard.

Eventually I will see if I can get this place rewired with earthed sockets.

Are you not actually resident in the UK then?

Let's just say that I am working on my options, at least until the UK government decides what it wants to do with people like me.
