I have bought a cooker with a gas hob and a electric oven I have been told by the people delivering it that I will need a special socket for gas cookers. A friend of mine says I dont a normal socket will do and her son says the same thing they have both used a normal socket on both there cookers for about twelve years. They say the only time you need a special socket is when your cooker is all electric. If I have to put this special socket in it will cost more than the cooker. Can I have some advice on this please. This is my first post.
