Only really in England.  Very few counties in Scotland had residential 
leases. (in fact residential leases tend only to show up in one county 
- and the term of the lease is usually 999 years) I did get one 
recently that had as its term "one million years from Whitsunday 1898".

I'm not convinced that we'll be using the same methods of land 
registry in a million years ;-)
