Besides, the UK doesn't seem all that well off according to what
I've read. UK
ground is not the same as continental earth. I think it's got to do
with the
lines being earthed at the station, whereas the continental earth
lead goes to
UK mains earth is bonded to the neutral and to the earth spike at the local
transformer.
It should also be bonded to earth at the property and, if the run from the
tramsformer to
the property is a long one, it will have more earth points along the way
(PME - protective
multiple earth).
A bit safer than a rod in the ground here and one way over there.
