The GP is also a bit misleading. Most residential properties in the UK are only fed one phase - either the street only has one phase or the grid connects houses up L1, L2, L3 in sequence. Of course I'm speak about detached and semi-detached houses, in larger groups of houses (e.g. blocks of flats) you usually get 3 phases, and one of the jobs of the electrician is phase balancing.
