I had one customer waiting 18months with a temporary connection through his old consumer unit!
18 months?!

That's ridiculous! I thought the time this job spent with the new tails Henley-Blocked to a temporary 30A feed from the old unit was bad enough.
next day got a letter telling how it was a criminal offence to do what I'd done!!!
That's something I wondered about.
Is it actually a criminal offense? If so, what? Obvioulsy breaking seals to tap in ahead of the meter would be the old "abstraction of electricity" charge, but if there is no attempt to defraud, what exactly would the offense be?
