I took out the following since they should probably go in the article on types of earthing schemes. This article is about clarifying what is earthing and what is bonding

Some premises are not provided with an earth - these are typically farms with livestock (or stabling for horses), petrol stations, and temporary supplies.

In some cases it may not be possible for the REC to provide an earth as it may change the line characteristics (if overhead fed), your supply may not be capable of supporting an earth (TNS) where you have no suitable conductor, or where the network is otherwise unsuitable for various reasons, i.e. areas subject to tidal influence, tide comes in = good earth, tide goes out = bad earth.
