JOOI can you please point me to where in the regs? (I ask in part
as I saw the old-style, brass clips being used recently in a house
to clip cables to beams.)

No, hopefully someone else here that knows the regs better will answer

To be fair, it is you that is is claiming that this is a reg. It's not
one I have ever heard of.

If you cannot suggest a reg to back your claim up then there is no
chance of anyone else suggesting another reg that says metal clips are
OK.

Probably harking back to the 15th? edition where everything metallic had
to be earthed (or some interpretations of such demanded). The extra cost
of running 2.5mm G/Y to each cable clip would make it uneconomic.

if we are going to that absurdity, surely the steel pin fixing the plastic
cable clip to the wall would also need to be earthed?
