Only time I don't use a spot and stand is if I'm patching in different rooms, got 4 different sized spot boards so they can suit whatever I'm doing. Just find it easier on my old back but each to their own.

I use a refina bucket scoop no bending down needed with them
Funnily, ive only recently gone back to board and stand too. Went years not using them as I was away from site situations. Mainly domestic but a couple of large float and skim jobs forces it back out of retirement doesnt it 
. Much better when you can use it I think.. Keeps your mixing bucket cleaner

Yeah think they are a great idea, and going to invest in one.
My spot board is a polycarbonate sheet i pinched off a brickie, and stand a workmate bench.I use bungies to hook into the sheet and onto the bench to keep steady.I do want one of them collapsible stands.
I do like using a spot on times just because you can keep crap on them,

At the time of writing (January 2011), the following work was classed as not needing notification to LABC:
1. Work consisting of -
(a) replacing any fixed electrical equipment which does not include the provision of -
(i) any new fixed cabling, or
(ii) a consumer unit;
(b) replacing a damaged cable for a single circuit only;
(c) re-fixing or replacing enclosures of existing installation components, where the circuit
protective measures are unaffected;
(d) providing mechanical protection to an existing fixed installation, where the circuit
protective measures and current carrying capacity of conductors are unaffected by the
increased thermal insulation;
(e) installing or upgrading main or supplementary equipotential bonding;
(f) in relation to an existing fixed building service, which is not a fixed internal or external
lighting system -
(i) replacing any part which is not a combustion appliance,
(ii) adding an output device, or
(iii) adding a control device,
where resting and adjustment of the work is not possible or would not affect the use by
the fixed building service of no more fuel and power than is reasonable in the
circumstances;
You can safely include turning on a light switch, plugging your extension lead in, and yes even unscrewing a ceiling light casing to that list.
