lol calm down lads, Masterseal is the dogs nuts yeah, but the cheaper options are ok, seen a few in operation (inside), however for glanding masterseal has the most space, also probably has the best waterseal around it.

No, one core of the cable is used as your main earth, however the cable should still be glanded properly, the armour will then be earthed trough the gland and with addition of the earth ring, this can be cross earthed at the house end.
Too many times have I seen 3-core armoured cable used with no glands, just with the cores coming out into P\N\E, if someone cuts trough the cable, it's possible for the armour to become live if not earthed.
