I did realise that Ancient Mariner was the handle of a user from the way you refenced it, but decided to use it in the way I did to introduce my credentials.
If you use the central earthing point of three lamps as your main earth you tend to have a bit of a problem when one of the bulbs fails, so I suspect you may have misunderstood the arrangements.
With regard to being disparaging about (ex-)mariners and the tale of the house on the Ardnamurchan peninsula, I would also be very wary if it was wired by individuals more used to wiring trawlers. There is a saying "worse things happen at sea", and I have a wealth of horror stories about what people have done to prove it!
