Default Kitchen fitting

I'm about to start fitting a kitchen. Units already assembled so should be
just a case of bolting them together and screwing into the wall. The
question is what do I use to fix them to the wall. wall is plasterboard and
concrete block.

Anyhing that works.

I variusly use L brackets on the units or car body filler, but the
easiest way is to not attach them at all directly, but run a batten of
2x2 under the worktop rear screwed into the wall where ever there is
solid to srew to, then arrange units, put on worktop, screw units to top
and screw the batten also to the top from below.

Rock solid.
