oven and hub switch optional?

[ronoc]

Hello there.
I recently had a new kitchen installed. There is a large switch that lights up when switched on above the oven and hob. I thought this switch had to be on for the oven or hob to work. However the oven and hob work if this switch is off or on, it seems to make no difference at all. I asked the installers and they said that due to new regulations the switch has to be now 'optional'.
Can this be true?

Thanks for any help.
Cheers

there were some microcars from the 50s n 60s went up for auction recently in america...
it was like a museum..but also a private collection.....there were BMWs, Heinkel`s, quite a few Bond`s etc....and we were talking big money as well for some of them...£60-70,000 for some....

I'm starting to get very worried about you lot..has no-one got a proper car? I'll give you examples of my current crop so you get the idea..

Range Rover Vogue SE
Discovery 3 TDV6
Discovery 300TDi (Off road and recovery use as it has a 12,000Ib winch on it)
Volvo D5 (Chipped to 211bhp and 489Ib/ft)
Aston Martin V8 Vantage Volante (1992 vintage)

Now they are proper cars!!

Are you standing in the Raby Arms car park in Byker per chance?

Messerschmitt did 'em too. Bit of a comedown from the 40's though.
