Maybe the slaving has perished or just fallen off? I have a lot of bare wire
earths in this house and nobody has died.

Its not the fact that its bare as such that is the problem directly -
although it does hint at the age of the installation, and hence other
things you can expect to find. Its likely that much of the earthing will
be done using undersized wires. Its also more likely for earths to be
disconnected in places they are needed, and quite probable the lighting
circuits are completely unearthed.
