That's nothing. My house had the entire first floor circuits earthed by taking a wire from the ring circuit across to the shower supply wire. That wire's outer plastic was slit and the earth wires simply wound round each other. I have no idea why the ring main did not continue the earth back to the fuseboard. On the ground floor, ring main cables were simply joined by winding the leads against each other and wrapping with insulation tape
