Nope. That's an urban myth. Phase separation was required for a short time in early versions of the 15th edition of the wiring regs. It simply meant sockets on different phases had to be >6 feet apart.
This was very quickly removed from the next version of the 15th Ed, yet somehow remains in the minds of some to this day.
There are several types of 13A plug though, which are explicitly designed to be incompatible.
Most common is probably the T-shaped earth pin, but there's several variants in case you need to properly confuse people.
