Does anyone have any memories of the conversion of every home in the country from town gas to natural gas?
I believe that it was done sometime in about the late 1960s or early '70s, so just before my time. I would guess that it must have been a massive undertaking, having to enter every home in the country to do the changeover although presumably if your home was all-electric you weren't affected.
I presume they sent or hand-delivered letters to every home in the country telling them when it was going to happen, and if you weren't going to be at home at that time you were expected to arrange for a friend or neighbour to let them in.
