Default Do I need to change anything?

Wonder if any experts out there could cast an eye on my electrical setup...

http://tinyurl.com/d9zoe

The things I am unsure about are...

The size of the earth between the service head and the Henley block (6mm)
(I cant change this, as it is obviously sealed into the head)
Then the same to the split load consumer unit (again 6mm)

Does the generator setup look like it is compliant?
(Especially the earthing sizes, and the SWA connected to free 32A
plugs/sockets - Is that OK?)

What size earthing should be in place for bonding to the services, and where
should the be connected (consumer unit, main Henley block, either?)
Should the services (Water & Gas) both be connected back to the supply, or
can they daisy
chain with only one cable back to the supply?

Should the earth going to the transfer switch from the split CU really be
taken to the Henley block?

The nutruel is tied to earth on the generator (well, in the free plug
connected to the house) should this really be done in the generator?

When running from the generator, the earth (tied to the generator's neutral)
is still connected to the grid provided earth (Armour of main cable) - is
that OK (The transfer switch doesn't seem to have any provision to switch
the earth as well as L & N)

When running from the grid, there is still an earthing rod connected to the
earthing system as well as the grid provided earth - is this OK?

Thanks :-)

Sparks...
