Reminds me of the pub over the road from my mother's place which,
coincidently, was, for years, a regular haunt of my FiL. A few years ago
it was taken over by some US based company who tried to make it a hip &
trendy place to be and in the process changed the name to 'The Jugglers
Arms'. Ever since FiL has insisted on referring to it as 'The Jugglers
Balls'!

Early 60's. It was the tragedy of her life that she tried to take up the

going out of fashion.

Not sure about the gas, but if you're gonna turn a gas cooker on, one
would naturally assume that you intend to put a match to the gas. The
resultant flame is warm, else the cooker would be the fridge. HTH. QED.
