Repeating something ad nauseum
does not make it true. Between 1968
and 1975 Gas was the most expensive
fuel

This is balls. Total balls. The reason gas took off was that it was cheap
to
run, far cheaper than electricity. Oil fluctuated with Arab wars and
embargos.

So you think the ONS have got it wrong? What is the source for your
assertion?

Being there and doing it. In the late 1960s/early 70s people were
installing gas CH systems in houses fitted with electric underfloor heating
to keep bills down. Very nice in that if the gas CH was down the electric
UFH could be turned on.
