The image is a screen-grab from a history of advertising trust archive advert from British gas, the image is a glowing blue ring of gas flames, typical of a gas hob, in the centre of the ring are the words 'COOKABILITY ...that's the beauty of GAS'

Today's #ArchiveAdventCalender is another 'High speed gas' advert, this time focused on cooking, it uses some very authentic voxpops to sell gas.

One voxpop excitedly exclaims 'you can even boil eggs' with gas, & describes a cooker as 'funky' - so I'm sold! 🥚🔥

I love this picture of the time when Xmas dinner and tea was so much simpler! The Xmas cake decorations were a frill and a snowman! This photo shows prople who are all members of my husband’s family
