Saw a job today where a well known DIY store started by two gents called Richard & David had installed a kitchen. On arrival I did an earth loop & checked the CU & PEB's.
A quick glance at both the gas meter and stopcock showed a 10mm² conductor fastened to both. So far, so good.
But hang on, that conductor just links one pipe to the other...it isn't connected to the MET...
A resistance test showed the gas PEB @ 18 ohms and the water PEB @ 146 ohms with reference to the MET!
