Relying on a radiator being a good earth is very dangerous and positively illegal in Europe.
Imagine using it as an earth, no problem, THEN
some time later a plumber fixes a pipe leak with a plastic section - increasingly common, now.
Plug something in which develops a live/earth fault and viola! One live radiator.
A bit far fetched but many fatalities are caused by a number of improbables stacking up together.
