Default pf gas installers?

heres the deal, i have a gas cooker that i want rid of, i've pulled the bastard out hoping to just uplug it from the gas mains or something but it don't look that straight forward

I have a thick flexible pipe from the back of the cooker which is somehow joined into the copper pipe on the wall.

now, does anyone know how this will come off? do i need to turn and twist it or what? will it be a push fitting or screw fitting? if so once disconnected is there a valve inside that will close or will it piss out gas and need to be blanked off?

It should have a shut off valve on the end of the copper pipe, you should just be able to unclip the rubber hose off.

Take a pic & post it up.
