Good point about the rcds Paul, I have fitted a lot of boards in the past few years with either an rcd on the main incomer or a split board, my own house has both ring circuits protected by individual rcds and the rest just on standard breakers, the problem is a lot of the time people just want the cheapest and take a board with an rcd on the main as they reckon they will be covered, I had one recently where a lamp in the loft which had been left on had shattered the bulb and tripped the main rcd in the process, the rcd would not reset and they spent the rest of the night in the dark, it was pretty straight forward for me to locate the problem but it demonstrated to them the inconvenience of a main rcd, I am waiting to replace their main rcd with a standard breaker and fit a couple of individual circuit rcds.
edit for spelling mistake
