Errrr... I must be missing something here. What is the point of
connecting all the bits of metal together but not to earth? This

Yes it does, how can they be at (significantly) different voltages
when connected by 10mm^2...

It just makes them all 'floating', just the same as if you leave
them individually 'floating'.


The important thing is that they all float together. If they aren't
bonded then your bath taps could be at one voltage and the radiator
another.
