The cooker's built-in, so any disconnecting will involve removing either the bulk of the cooker or the work surfaces around it. He didn't have the tools for that, and anyway if someone on an emergency gas callout has to tick around for more than 30 minutes to track down and/or deal with your gas leak, they have to start charging. As I say, he left me with a small fan heater, so it really could have been worse. Anyway, no heating in the morning, washing in cold water: if only my old housemaster could see me now. "I was right!" he'd be chuckling, damn it all.
