The service mains cable you have, by what is showing in the pictures, is
an older wire armoured type, so it will have a braiding around it.
Wither it is properly earth bonded further down the line is another
matter, but best to bond it anyway to make sure. Both water and gas
services need to be bonded on the consumer side of the installation.
This means on the parts of the pipework that go into the house and not
on the parts that comes from the outside of the building.

I'm confused. ;-) If you're not sure about the armoured cable, shouldn't
you use an earth spike? Or shouldn't you anyway?
