If you know the answer, is it that hard for you to say
yes or no?

Which means that you:

a) lack the ability to make value judgements of what you read (which
going by Gas Mark 8 = 800C, seems to be about right)

b) seem to think an answer from people like me is more likely to be
right than a peer-checked answer from people with too much time on their
hands.

c) have never bothered reading anything (recipes, packets, instant
meals) where they give oven settings in C, F & GM. I avoid cooking like
the plague but know GM6 is 200C.

Much more reliable in fact given how easy it is to fix

There are some obvious exceptions, particularly with pollys who
have staff that keep deleting anything they don't like to see.

The "Regulo mark Number" was invented by the New World gas cooker
company in the 1920's when they made the first gas cooker with a
thermostatic control. The cooker was open to the air, the burner at
the bottom rear vented combustion products out of the back. This
created a temperature gradient in the oven (advertised as a "good
thing", you could cook a whole meal requiring different temperatures
at once by putting those needing more heat at the top and those
needing least at the bottom. ) Most cooks wouldn't have been familiar
with temperature scales, only with hot, not so hot and cool ovens.
Having a single digit number on a dial was much easier than having to
fit a 3 digit degF scale onto it. It also made using the different
cooker levels easy, each shelf was about 1 regulo mark different from
the one above or below.

It wasn't meant as a temperature scale rather as a cooking guide.
