These days I am older folk, back in the 70's when strikes stopped electric, we either had gas or open fires to keep us warm, now we have central heating, that won't work without electrickery, health and safety devices that won't allow folk to stay warm even if left in the dark.
Because now we don't burn coal, even worse, now we can't burn gas without a fail safe that ensures electric controls it. So now no electric let your toes go cold.
