If they ban gas boilers what will all those now unused flames do?

“The flame that freezes” said Mr Therm in the Gas Council adverts.

Yes my family had a gas fridge in the 1960s. Yes it was fun. The fridge was situated rather near a door and sometimes the flame would blow out. Out first indication that something was wrong was usually a smell of gas and the fridge loosing its cool. 

Sometimes the fridge would loose its cool, even with the flame burning. I heard advice from somewhere that one could cure this by turning the fridge upside-down for a day or two. I tried it and yes it worked - I never really figured out why. 

Thank goodness we have moved on. I think Electrolux was the main manufacturer behind this type of fridge, though Electrolux nowadays makes fridges using the compressor principle, just like everyone else.
