I went to give an estimate today for a shower install. Only the wife was at home with a very young baby. A lovely homely sight to see the baby in a handing swinging crib. This baby is probably the youngest person in the village. Anyway I was just checking the main bonding and the mother asked me about the earthing. I explained as simply and concisely as possible about the function of bonding cables and the need to keep all conductive parts at the same Voltage to limit shock risk. She then said, "so it is to equalise the Voltage". Yes I though, you have it there, you do understand. That was a magic moment.
