What's the point of earthing an iron bath in the bathroom? Surely this
is only going to help you if the bath then somehow becomes live? Which
is not very likely - to put it mildly. Any thoughts?

Hmmm - more likely than you think.

The IEE published a paper on earthing which might be of interest. Can't
find it on the IEE website, but there's a copy here
