Default 'Gotcha' when fitting a gas hob

Hi,

one thing we learned recently when planning our new kitchen:

If the gas hob has the gas connection at the rear, then it will fit directly
over a set of drawers and you can have all the drawers functional.

If the connection is to the left or right (or even front, though I find this
hard to grasp) then the top drawer has to be a dummy.

To my total lack of surprise none of the hobs I have looked at has the
details of where the gas connection is included in the 'blurb'.

Ho hum

Think it might also depend on the depth of the hob. Older ones certainly
were sometimes too deep to allow a drawer in the normal way.
But I'm not sure I'd want a drawer there anyway. Like one under a
draining board things will get spilt into in. Only likely to be more nasty
to clean up from a hob.
