The link you posted shows exactly why you are totaly and utterly wrong.
The earth in the link is the ground beneath our feet, but you have already suggested using mains in a tear with no earth wire bonding or path to ground.
Remember saying that the yellow outdoor extension was a good idea? and now you can see why it isnt, No ground path in tear and or earth wire bonding.
Have we a real American electrician here, to explain it to Bruce? Its against regs over here and against code over there and an unecessesary danger anywhere.
