Very nice of you but I would not have minded, we were only in Asda anyway
I think your son is correct that any leak to earth would have tripped out the RCD in your flat.
It could have been you that was static charged and it dissipated to earth when you touched the PC tower which will be earthed.
Some equipment is not even earthed, satellite boxes are terrible for giving little shocks.
Personally I would try it again and see if it does it again. Some people are really prone to static shocks. I was given a label printer (PC network type not battery hand held) because the the chap who bought it kept getting shocks when he touched it. I have tried many times and it does not bite me
