Much cheaper than grounding boxes.
I did wonder about that.

I'll give it a go.

You can't change how people treat you or what they say about you. All you can do is change how you react to it.

Owston should be a good place to try some grounding devices.

Luckily, I have no sense of shame!

Ta for the link Dave (B). It seems like they're supposed to be a ground 'noise' sink of some sort. Totally passive.
