Twenty or so years ago! :-o notice periods were hard for employers in the UK to enforce. They couldn't require you to turn up to work due to anti-slavery laws. If you didn't turn up, all they could do is not pay you. As soon as they don't pay you, the employment is over. They could sue you for breach...

Strictly, almost any work you perform while in the UK is taxable in the UK - though in practice, no one cares for short term working. Tax residency only means you're taxed on your worldwide income in the UK. The test for whether someone is tax resident is rather more complicated than 183 days.
