Ok. I know there are lots of bonding questions and I am not about to start another discussion on whether you need to upgrade it to change a light switch but consider this scenario....
Adding a fused (RCD) spur to to a ring to supply the garden. Properly has bonding to gas but not to water (evident by only one bonding conductor into the CU). The catch is that the owner doesn't know where the water stopcock is - he even called in a plumber who could not find it - but he suspects it might be behind some (nicely tiled over) panelling in either the cloakroom, utility room or kitchen.
Would you....
a) insist on pulling the house apart to find the incoming and bond there.
b) bond to the nearest available cold water pipe because it is the best you can find.
c) don't worry guv, I'll pretend I didn't spot it was missing......
