I imagine that town gas was installed for that purpose and for the gas cooker. Some also had gas pokers to light the coal fire so gas was fed to the hearth. But it would probably be for better off houses only.
When senior politicians lie people stop believing.

I'm old enough to remember the homes and cottages being burned in Wales.
Nuf said.
There is nothing socialist about exceptionalism.
It's raw opportunism, populism. Call it what you will, but it's not about working together.
It offers the easy answer to all kinds of problems. A snake oil for any malaise.
No reference is ever made to consequences.
Look at Brexit for an example.
But he got Brexit. The Welsh and the Scottish Nationalists have virtually the same arguments and much of the same grievances as Mr Fag-End.
It's about getting power for the ' elite '. It's got nothing to do with improving conditions or guaranteeing the future of the working people. Its opportunism.
Good luck. Get it over with.
I'm still waiting for over a year now for that phone call or a letter behind the door. Half hoping, half dreading.
No dates... They don't like the idea of their masterpieces being demolished in 50 years with the date over the door.

Just like Farage. Different words but just more division.
I find it hard not to agree. We seem to be on the wrong side in this. One wonders why?

I bought it direct from Japan a few years ago ... I'll look out the details.
It was not dear. About Β£50.
There surely is some suppression of inflammatory news going on.
BBC journalists are constantly looking over their backs.
New camera. Fujica half frame from about 1965. f1.9 lens.
The 1/500 speed is a bit slow but it's no problem.
Looks like it's half frame Sunday...

A few head cases with some weapons or a huge, wealthy state with near infinite supplies of conventional and nuclear arms?

I started taking a picture a day when I turned 30 in 2015. 3654 pictures later I loaded them all up and made a time lapse video. Nearly 2 and a half minutes of me getting fat bald and depressed. Never deleted something quicker. What a waste of time and effort.

Free electricity from Octopus is cheaper than paying compensation.
We paid Β£ 1 billion to the generators not to generate last year.

The Japanese used to love their half frames..
Mind you I just picked up a beauty. Fujica half 1.9 , working. Twenty quid.
Don't forget to just enjoy it. Too much photography can distract from the appreciation. Immerse, don't just observe.
Hell of a jealous ..
