At a price that cant be beat well look at it now we cant afford it cause of the Russians and other foreign countries pushing the prices up to cripple us.
I know I was only a nipper and child around the 1980's (now 31), but seeing adverts like these made the outlook on life so so simple and filled with happiness - what is so wrong with our world today? materialist, war, government gone down the dogs, no jobs, knife crime, teenage pregnancies - what is happening - somebody please invent a time machine.
My uncle worked for the gas board and gave me a promotional demonstration floppy 45 record which was for commercial use only and is all about this subsequent advert. The track was written specifically for the advert and features Madeline Bell on the vocals. Used to have fun playing it on slow speed or backwards until i lent it to a friend who got it creased by accident and then melted it trying to iron it flat. What a plonker ! ruined! ahh good to hear it again.

In the country where mains gas doesn't exist people use Calor Gas in propane tanks refilled by Calor tankers or banks of
47kg propane cylinders from local Calor Gas stockists;can do all the things mains gas can do(if hotter and quicker!)

BTW, the Wonderfuel Gas theme is sung by Madeline Bell, who was in the 60s band Blue Mink, and who also sang some of BBC Radio 1's jingles.

Good advert (and advertising campaign) though. From 1985 I believe.
