On a serious note:
A lot of boiler installation manuals still mark it as a requirement for the pipework to be cross bonded, and are we not supposed to obey the manufacturer above all else? (along with 3A fuses on extract fan circuits).
 
Bugger, just realised I have put anyone who visits my house at danger by not having the facility to bond their jewellery, car keys or fillings That's tomorrow sorted then making up a load of 10mm leads with crocodile clips on them.

British Grasp seem to be very keen on having geen/yellow festooned all over the shop and what he hell do they know about anything?
 
I had to laugh at a new boiler I wired the other day.
A Worcester boiler, with all the brass pipe connections bolted to a steel bar with a bog-roll thin copper strip linking them all together.

White will blend in well with the plastic pipes.

Its not required in the electrical regs , its one thing that was done because it looks pretty , even to 16th edition , but supplementary bonding was required as has been said in special locations also if you look at the main bonding for a gas pipe under plumbers regs they say it should be within a metre of the gas meter again not an electrical reg, as with alot of manufacturers they add requirements with out consulting the regs , look how many bathroom lights still have zone 3 on them and on instructions tell you to put the loops of a lighting circuit into a terminal block and wrap it in tape now im sure thats one thing we wouldnt do
