I presume the room into the top left has an electric fire bonded to the central heating, which is completely over the top. But if we are going into a home wired in the 1980's isn't that what we should be expecting to find if nothing has not been updated?
The problem is that the bathroom had probably been updated with the supplementary bonding being ripped out, but the fuse board has not been upgraded and RCD protection added.
It's digressing from the original post, but when people say that lacking RCD protection to bathroom circuits is a C3 the bonding has to be in place to avoid a C2, so adding a RCD becomes the easiest way to upgrade.
