Thanks very much

Hi , can i ask a question, which may seem stupid. I know gas , water and structure require bonding to a building but i always thought each service has to be bonded seperate to the earth bar.  Today i have come across a bond from the earth bar to the structure then to the gas pipe. I said to...
