According to the BRI 80% of electric underfloor installations were in
public housing. During the Wilson Callaghan era there was a policy
of installing oil, gas and electricity in equal mixes in public
housing, the cheapest fuels were electricity and oil.

Gas has always been cheaper than electricity; in the past 40 years

anyway.

No it hasn't, oil has quite often been cheaper and in the 60's/70's


oil??


off peak electricity was cheaper at times.


I repeat: Gas has always been cheaper than electricity; in the past 40 years

Some of us are older than you for a start.

Prior to notrh sea oil and gas, oil was often cheaper than gas.

Electricity ought to be always more expebnsive, but strange pricing
policies have made off peak occasionally cheaper than both.
