No, but whoever's telling you (who?!) might be confusing this with a
need to bond the sink to the copper pipes below the taps (would be
thinner cable that 10mm - 4mm IIRC?). Whether that's obligatory or not
is arguable - see lots of threads on this in the archives of this ng
(Christian will argue 'no' on safety grounds, and no doubt he's right;
but - eg - my electrician insisted upon it before he'd issue my safety
report!)
