I'm sorry. I do not understand.
I have provided a link to a type of insulated conductor.
Does connecting this create new entity or definition?

Errrr I'm not sure who upset the applefart here, If it was me I apologuise.
But cansomeone get back on track with some more useable advice?
IE is 10mm armouired earth/single core available as this seems to be the only option bearing in mind my original post,

See. now you go and quote only part of what I said.
That was:
and you have not yet shown that you are correct.
So no kowtowing is appropriate.

You can get single-core armoured cables.
Do you mean you can't get them in green/yellow?
I apoligise for the pathetic pedants infecting this place.
Mate, you are just about the biggest pedant on this board. I can dig out dozens of your posts where you pick tiny points out of posts where contributors have tried to be helpful to DIYers.
Perhaps it is time for you to stop doing this, and stop lying about your location?

Nobody is, or ever has, or ever will question whether your actual name really is holmslaw.
Saying that you are in Zaire when you are not is one of two things:
1) You want us to believe it, in which case you are a liar.
2) You don't want us to believe it but you think it's witty or whimsical or amusing etc, in which case you are behaving like an idiot.

Thanks chaps, all of you. Never thought a question like that would start a war but what do I know,
Based on info recieved and with cost in mind the following is the plan.
Run 10mm earth externally clipped at DPC level. All of this is down the side off the house and under decking level so unobtrusive.
One final question. The earthing of the gas pipe would have been at the incoming end as the gas supply to the kitchen has been removed and we didn't find any earth connection. Given that then, is thier any compulsion for the electrician to bring the earth standard up to 10mm for the gas side of things?
Cheers

Not sure what you mean.
If you have a gas supply, whether it goes to the kitchen or not, it must¹ be bonded to the main earth terminal with a 6mm² or 10mm² conductor depending on the type of supply¹, and before doing any work on the electrical installation anywhere the electrician is required¹ to ensure that the earthing and boding of the installation are adequate.
¹ Assuming that compliance with the Wiring Regulations is wanted.

Thanks,
Yes of course, it is all to be certified as the whole thing has been done correctly for building regs and planning. I will assume the electrician has done the check on the gas side.
The other issue I have yet to resolve. If as stated I run a 10mm standard single earth from consumer unit externally clipped to the wall does it need any form of protection?? , can someone give me a link to the appropriate reg.
Incase anyone thinks I'm trying to cut out the sparky it's not the case, he just can't get on site but is more than willing for me to do the donkey work and he will connect and test, just don't want to compromise his trust.
If the only problem is that he can't get there, but you're in contact with him (which you must be to have established that he's happy for you to run the cable), you should ask him, as he's the one who will have to sign to say he did it.
