Universal Power Supply

standard UK wall outlet.  Everything works OK!
However, walking past the machine while it was charging I noticed some mark/dust on the cover
and idly wiped a finger over the case.  To my surprise, it felt as if the lid was corrugated - I then checked
by turning the mains socket off and noticed that the sensation disappears.
Has anyone else experienced this?  Are there any safety implications?
I do have a safety certificate for the electrics but from 2001.

No safety implications there, that's fairly common with devices that have a metal case if they're plugged into a socket without an earth connection. It feels weird but doesn't pose a risk to you or the pbp.
