iPad gives tingly light vibration electrocution when plugged into mains

I thought I'd ask whether this was normal seeing that my friends ipads are doing the same thing;

Using the supplied AC adaptor and supplied USB cable, when I plug my iPad into the mains its gives a kind of tingly vibration feeling on the back, especially when I move my hand around the surface. When not plugged into the mains or when plugged into my PC it does not happen... suggestions? Is this a fault?

Ipad Wifi 32GB, Windows 7

Let me know what your Apple Store tells you about this vibration. My new Ipad is doing the same thing.

Thank you

I get the same problem with my iPad, iPhone and even my vype e-cigarette. It has to be an earthing issue as I don't feel it if I put on rubber soled shoes like flip-flops!
