Shocking kitchen appliances

I am getting a tiny shock from the sink, washing machine and fridge in the kitchen. Google says I might be building up a static charge or it might be the weather. Is this happening to anyone else? And might it be dangerous?

You’re possibly missing an earthing cable. Get an electrician to have a look urgently.

That doesn't sound right. You need an electrician.

I once got quite a bad electric shock in a self catering in greece. I worked out I must have made a circuit as I was cooking scrambled egg using a metal spoon, metal pan on electric hob and I touched the metal sink?! It was really unpleasant.
