Its true that persistence really does pay off

The above quote is neither helpful nor constructive. I for one have a great deal of respect for members on here like Lenny who have given a great deal of their time to this forum unpaid and all they ask for is the curtiousy of the thanks button being hit every now and then.

I believe the correct term as used in BS7671 (17th edition) is Supplementary Equipotential Bonding. This is a method for providing additional protection.
That aside, there is no regulation in BS7671 or ESQCR that prohibits the exportation of a PME earth.
Individual DNOs can and do put restraints on where and to what they will allow connection to their PME system, but that is their choice, not something contained in any standard or statutory document.
There are prohibitions on providing a connection to a PME system for caravans, petrol stations and marinas, obviously exporting a PME earth in such situations would also be prohibited.
The thread from the IET forum you quoted concerned a mobile shipping container, these are often treated the same as caravans. The OP in that thread erroneously believed that a PME earth cannot be exported, hopefully he went away eductaed to the fact that it can be.
One of the problems with exporting a PME earth to an outbuilding containing extraneous parts, is that those parts may well be at a differnt potential to earth than the exported earth. The use of protective bonding will equalise any potential difference, but an appropriately sized protective bonding conductor back to the point of supply will have to be installed.
Often it is more cost effective not to export the earth, and to TT the out building.

I've got a good IET guide for supplies to outbuildings, anyone seen it?

The problem was never about your opinion, as you say you are entitled to it. It was the fact that at the start of this thread you told the op that they can not export a tncs earth. You did not state this as your opinion, you stated it as fact. Which it is not.

An opinion is a fact of the person sending the message as a fact, which is his opinion is correct.
