Being a baby-boomer I was reared with mains electricity coming in on a wire and mains sewerage going out in a pipe so gas mantles are not in my vocabulary. Are they by any chance related to the mantlepiece?
I have heard mention of a Tilly Lamp and a Hurricane Lamp and wonder if the Academic Mr V could put all these gizmos on a time line, unless he's playing darts in the Old Market tonight.
