That depends. Actually, it is so, UNLESS you have an RCD/GFI, which places
a small voltage between neutral and ground as they exit the RCD device.
After all, the ground and neutral are connected together in the service
panel, so there's no difference between them unless the RCD, connected

Sorry, you don't know much about UK mains distribution do you ?.

The neutral wire in the UK is connected to ground only at the sub station
under normal situations and nowhere else. Therefore it can be at a
different potential to true ground.

You really should not begiving advice in a UK ng about a electrical system
which you clearly have no first hand experience of.
