Lots of things can hold a good static charge. Like your scooby on a hot dry day. You get out and whack!
All I remember is that the charge can be +ve or -ve and the material you choose has a tendency to be one or the other.

The balloon, rub it on a sweater then use it to make your hair stand on end. or stick it to the wall.

I have read on the web that a Glass rod rubbed with Silk has the same effect. Anyone know where I can buy a glass rod from. The thing is I only need to buy two rods and all the suppliers for these type of things are like school science supplies and have minimum order of £50 and have to have an account to order...

You sure its a glass rod and not perspex ?
IIRC perspex rubbed with cotton (or maybe wool) and polypropyline rubbed with wool (or maybe cotton) produce different static charges (one -ve and one +ve)
You could probably buy strips of both from a DIY shed ?
