Yes, but the next answer was "...they go from b16 up to b40", which I guess counts as 'a variety'!

So with a hob at 6.2kW and oven at 5kW is it ok to run them both from the same cooker connection plate with a fuse breaker b32
Yup. 11.2kW
Cooker diversity says: the first 10 A + 30% of remainder +5a for a socket outlet (if fitted)
So:
11200/230 = 48.69
38.69x0.3 = 11.61
10.0+11.61+5.0 = 26.61A
Even if you calculated them both separately you'd only get to 33.6A (including the socket) - if you don't have a socket on your cooker switch - no worries. If you do, just don't use it for the kettle whilst you're cooking christmas dinner!

Thank you
Yes there is a switch on the socket and yes i do use it for the extractor fan,looking at it now thought i can use other sockets for the fan
As we can factor diversity in to cooking appliance circuits, as you will have seen by previous calc, that the circuit is suitable to have both these appliances connected. The diversity demand is a little over 26A, you have 6.0mm cable (current carrying capacity of 47A, I assume the cable is not routed within thermal insulation?).
You have circuit breaker rated at 32A, so everything thing sounds sweet!
You can purchase dual cooker outlet plates, that will accommodate both appliances.
