Not sure, I've never heard of it. Maybe just in Scotland. Yet another reason to move there.
Although that might a be a shared neutral at the point where two flats split their supply I guess. A common problem is in hallways with 2 or three way switching, people take the neutral from the ground floor and then one from an upper floor and they're on different circuits. It's not terribly dangerous but it's not something you can leave if you're installing a new consumer unit.
Taking it to another level of guessing I don't know how many people on the forum have more than a couple of stories.

@cozzzzzzzz
do the electricity companies not fix shared neutrals for free ? pretty sure we have one of those, and scottish power are coming (tomorrow in fact) to fix it gratis, so we can put a smart meter in.
