Something is not properly grounded (I think your side of the pond calls it 'earthed'). IIRC, the UK uses 230 VAC 50 Hz, with both lines as live, and a ground. My first suspect would be your laptop PSU or plug not being grounded, or the outlet it is plugged into not being properly grounded the first is a job for the computer guys, and second is a job for your Sparky.
This is not a good thing, current passes through the path of least resistance and it can be as little as (again IIRC) about 20 ma of current flow to stop the heart which, coincidentally, is about halfway between those outstretched hands.Unsure | :~
