I dont disagree with you B.O.B. but at 1519 yesterday nstreet said that in their kitchen it was an electric hob.
Unless some very unusual exclusion applied, the installer was so wrong to use a flexible hose that I wonder if he really was CORGI registered. After the kitchen fire I saw which had resulted from a hose being used I feel that nstreet should get the installation corrected for safety reasons.
In any case, certainly in London, a gas oven under the work surface is pretty rare and therefore not what I would class as a "normal" situation.
Since the 1st April this year, all CORGI registered people are required to notify CORGI when they fit a gas cooker and this costs about £4.50 and takes about 15 minutes. A bit of extra Red tape which the ODPM and HSE seems to encourage.
