Even if the elements were leaking like sieves, in a house with no RCD, the leakage would just happily go down the earth wire and no-one's the wiser unless/until there's an earth fault.
A cooker in that state might still be used acceptably safely if you could be bothered with the expense of a 3kW or so isolating transformer.
