[QUOTE="steptoe, post: 250688, member: 7"] err, well lets ask the DNO if they permit it then shall we. the standard answer is what? or maybe you never ask for permission to alter the supply parameters of your installations.? it is a requirement to ask the DNO for permission to take their supplied earth to a building other than the one they have supplied it to, statutory law BTW, so its a criminal offence if you export the supplied earth outside the original building without their permission, now, would you care to mention or link the actual amount of cowboy installs that ignore this fact? to your question, I cant be bothered to drag up the amount of times people have been electrocuted in their gardens due to hedgecutters/lawnmowers etc cutting cables/extension leads etc. try a google search, Im sure you will fill your evening with joy at peoples mis-information and dodgy workmanship by 'sparks' that have absolutely no understanding of the consequences of their actions simply because they didnt understand how earthing worked in the UK [/QUOTE]
