Re: Gas Cooker and Chains..
LOL! My gas appliances are due for the annual service on the 9th - I wonder if I am in for a fight then. My cooker is certainly not chained to the wall. It is a 'range' type beastie slotted in between two cupboards and is a swine to move anyway even though it is on rollers. But I would not want it 'fixed' in any way. Imagine the grime if it could not be moved far enough for me to slip behind it to clean!! Nightmare.02-09-2013, 07:07 AM

The chain is long enough to clean behind the cooker LOLWe are not talking just a couple of inches it's a decent length just short of the hose.
You couldn't pull it out further than that with out uncoupling the hose anyway or you would be damaging the hose.

Apparently there is some sort of health and safety ruling which says cookers must be attached to the wall to prevent them falling on the user
.I told the fitters I had been moving cookers out to clean behind them for over 50 years and lived to tell the tale
They did as they were told and connected the cooker without attaching it to the wall leaving me to be crushed as requested

Re: Gas Cooker and Chains..
Well I'm back in good old Thurso once more I got a guy who fixed the cooker to the wall....cost me £25 quid too 
But it can be unclipped when needed to be. I asked him what it was all in aid of and he said it was due to some silly sod in an office with nowt better to do than think up daft ideas (his words not mine) It's one of Health and Safety's newer rules. Guy came to do the Boiler, never even glanced at the cooker or the gas fire....sheeeze 
AND you can bet he'd have given me a rocket if I'd not had it done..
