Toot

Gas fire free to collect from #Cambridge. Our gas fitter says this is a good piece of kit, "they don't make them like that any more".

It worked last time we used it, but we've remodelled the room such that there is no space for a gas fire any more.

Not for DIY installation, get a real gas fitter to do it.

@TimWardCam I think I had one of these in my first year room. Bent paperclips allowed you to hang a slice of bread off the front and make toast.

@mattjohns It is rumoured that students who had rooms in Trinity Great Court and entertained American tourists to afternoon tea in their rooms made so much money from them (totally illegally of course) that they could afford real brass toasting forks.
