[BITList] gas light

[FS]

Malcolm,Hugh,Colin
In Hull some streets were on gas (my school mate and family where gassed 
but survived after the elder brother didn't turn the light off fully 
after reading in bed)  and others on electric the electric being DC 
which we found out to our cost when first plugging the radio in as the 
mains transformer didn't take kindly to this, we ended up with radio 
relay for the rest of our stay in hull
