I don't remember that, but I do know that at one time people did.  I had a relative who had a gas fridge and you can even get gas tumble dryers as I considered buying one at one time.  Isn't gas 4 times cheaper than electricity now?  If electricity goes up any more I might get gas lighting and I don't think you'd need to put the heating on    
Are you thinking of going on a cruise?  Check out Channel  758, i've been watching their Virgin Media launch party (it was nice for them to welcome Virgin viewers, i've never known a channel do that before).   They take you on a tour of the ship and even a look at some of the places where you will visit, it's more like a holiday programme than a shopping channel.  I'm hoping to see one for the Northern Lights as that's on my bucket list before my time on Earth is at an end.
 
They have some good deals, for example there was a reasonably priced one at £2,999 and only £300 more for a balcony.  For those on a budget, there was one at only £589 for 7 days to France & Spain (7 nights from 25 April 2026).

			Base on what I have seen on Company House the company's that appear on channels like Create & Craft and Hobby Maker makes next to nothing year on year.
 Create & Craft (Was also called The Craft Store and also Hochanda) owner Hochanda Limited and Hochanda Global Limited only make money in the year 2018 but they did lose over £35m from 2015 to 2022 (No Full accounts has been revealed since January 1st 2023 until October 24th 2024)
 
 Note to all The Craft Store that is set to launch on Facebook has nothing to do with Hochanda Limited or Hochanda Global Limited and will be owned by The Craft Store Limited that was set up on and listed on Company House on January 8th 2025.

 |  Other than the director, who was also a director of Hochanda Limited. He was also a director of Hochanda Global until the original directors sold out as they wanted to retire. Relaunching a Craft Store seems like a strange retirement...

In other news... 
Overnight changes:  
Pop-up channel Eurosport UHD has launched on channel 523 in readiness for coverage of the Australian Open.

The Craft Store on Facebook did say that he did own The Craft Store name.
 
I seen reports that they hope to also launch on Virgin Media via YouTube.

 |  Sounds strange.  Anyone could start a channel on YouTube and then claim to be on Virgin because the YouTube app is on the platform    |
