Adding missing earth bonding and RCDs save lives. I have long argued

shock and the RCD was not praised for it's actions.




RCD sockets are cheap enough to replace all the sockets in risky places
like kitchens.
Doing them in the consumer unit just protects the cable when it probably
doesn't need it.
