When you say no earth what do you mean?,no provision of earth from cutout, Some suppliers do not provide earth from cut out, if that is the case when meter fitted etc, they should break out the NE terminal (pme) ready for you to connect into cutout,they should also leave the stated nominal voltage plus ze of the supply.

Correct, all I am saying is if its pme from cut out some suppliers do not provide earth from it, but DNO must provide their earth loop impedance measurement.

Are you out in the sticks or in a built up area .... maybe your lack of experience just means you don't recognise the service head provided may have a N/E combined block but you dont have access to it... can you post a pic if possible?
If you have never seen a TT then i can assume your experience is limited ...well we all start somewhere

Earth won't come out the meter. I've had few one upgrades where they never punch the hole out for earth at the cut out, if the fuse fell out you would see the n-e link , is the head marked one or cne earth?
Mine's Boggled as well.
Must be an age thing,
Read "New supply",, Thinks DNO must have have test cert of some sort (Don't do domestic but read it on here)
"Only Brown / Blue out of meter",, Thinks supplier must have fitted meter, so consumer unit must be in place

to the o/p...
on the cutout is there a hole or two to one side ....with little allen screws in them?
if so then this is the earthing point...
is the cutout grey Henley?

HANG ON....this doesn't make sense. The DNO don't do meters, they just do heads, yes? And the meter fitter won't normally just put a tails in and energise them without knowledge of what's on the other side of them, nor (in my experience) will they fit a meter without fitting the tails in as they like to seal it all up...... so, there must have been a set of tails left there by the OP ready for the meter fitter (along with some sort of assurance of isolation downstream). Where was the installers earthing conductor???
If you don't bring them a cable then they can't fit it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

With 24hrs training and registration on a Bakers scam, he would be an ideal candidate to be running the instore Bakeries for a Major supermarket.
Experience in button pressing would reduce the training significantly.

Identifying service heads, metering and earthing arrangements was obviously day 18 of the 17 day course or Monday of week 6 of the five week course
or
Is this now an additional City & Guilds course with it's own course number that you need if you are arranging for new supplies or metering to be installed
