i don't think there is and i would say if anyone wishes to work 14 daily then it must be a matter of choice

Provided you receive regular tea/lunch breaks then don't see a problem, you can opt out of all hours over 37.5 per week if you wish, you needed to have signed a form when you started work, or when rules came in several years ago, stating you were opting out of the 37.5 hour ruling, you can request to withdraw from this, normally with two-four weeks notice. See your local union rep

The MAXIMUM hours you are allowed to work under Health And Safety Laws is 48 hours for a single employer. How your employers decided to split the hours is up to them.

There is a law and you can only work 48 hours a week. if you wish to work longer than this you must sign an agreement saying so. This would mean you can work whenever you employeer wishs you to.
See this information from the Department of Trade and Industry: http://www.dti.gov.uk/employment/employment-legislation/working-time-regs/index.html

Its not a good idea to work that long regularly. Some people work, say, three long days and take the rest of the week off. If you are self employed you can work till you drop

No. Not really.
Most employment contracts state that you will work when deemed necessary or something like that.
Better a job paid by the hour?

Also there should be a 12 hour gap between shifts. so if you work until 9pm, you can be made to start again until 9am.
What does your contract state??
