Raised hotplate because its not mine and its fking st, properly fking pain in the arse uncontrollable wk fking st. I'd be better off cooking on a fking camping stove or even over a box of matches its that much of a complete bunch of fking arse.

What makes it even ing worse is that there is a gas feed into the kitchen so at some point some cretin actually elected to choose this toss over the cook cook cook cookability of a gas hob.

In summary, I'd prefer gas.

Induction here in Dorset, but only because that's what they fitted when they built the place. It's not ideal as I only have a limited number of panware items to use on it.

Ceramic hob in Yorkshire, again because that's what came with the house.

Mine is a hole in ground with wood in it. I guess it becomes fan assisted on windy days.

8 out of 10. The swearing let up in the second half which lets it down but it was so accurate and correct I've marked you back up for that. Well done.
