Don't Clean the Hob

---

Just a little aside for 5 minutes. The other night I was being industrious and decided to clean off the top or our ceramic hob. In the process of wiping this down with a cloth and some water I somehow managed to childlock the hob. Since, at that time, we did not have an instruction manual for the hob it proved completely impossible for us to un-childproof the hob, meaning that we could not cook ANYTHING! at all.

After trying for two consecutive nights to unlock the hob, I finally lost the plot last night and stormed down to the reception desk, in my fluffy pink slippers (which the guy in the elevator commented on) and demanded that someone tell us how to unlock the hob. After approximately 1 hour explaining to various people, with differing degrees of english comprehension what I actually wanted, we finally were given a users manual for the damn hob.

However the instructions made no sense and didn't work. But somehow, by sheer dumb luck, Jeremy managed to vaguely follow these instructions and unlock the hob.

Praise the lord!
