I have something similar, although even older as it still has fuse wire. Presumably something similar happened when the previous owners put in the kitchen as that is on a different consumer unit which has fancy stuff like an RCD.

If your kitchen has a back door leading to a garden then it would need an RCD protecting any sockets that are likely to be used for the garden.
It does seem a bit jobsworth but RCD's can save lives and asking them if it's avoidable probably got their back up. Not really your fault if you're trying to save money but they might have felt they were wasting their time at that point.

I'm not a sparky, but having a similar set up and when we are having the kitchen done we were told by a mate sparky that we could have an RBBO switch fitted to feed the fuse board or just have another spurred consumer unit.
