I did a cursory check and found UK manufacturers of things like 
3 phase domestic stoves and assumed they were used in the UK. It seems 
that they're for use elsewhere in EU, so I'll withdraw that 3 phase is 
common in UK.

Why would having different phases on different circuits be a problem? 
It's pretty common IMO, because you want the load balanced between them. 
(Unless the concern is that the crazy UK circuit loops will get 
crosswired?) In general 3 phase is only used for dedicated equipment 
circuits, but that's because not many portable appliances need that much 
power.
