I cant think of anything about a modern cooker that a 1950s one doesnt

Flame failure device, in the oven at least and increasingly nowadays on
the burners too (mandatory in blocks of flats).

Plus taps and regulators that are designed for higher pressure NG (aka
North Sea gas) rather than ancient Town Gas.


Thanks for confirming what I thought about flame failure devices.

However the taps and regulators must have been acceptable at NG
pressures when the conversion was done. (Would the regulator have been
changed at conversion time? If so, then it would even be designed for NG.)

Hypothyroidism is a seriously debilitating condition with an insidious
onset.
Although common it frequently goes undiagnosed.
