Goddlefrood:

My parents have and had 3 AGAs altogether. Two have been gas fired 
and one electric powered. They were proper AGAs, not imitations, 
but were converted to more modern technologies. Originally AGAs 
were wood or coal-burning. That is no longer the case and they 
work just as well on gas and / or electricity. AGA is the intials 
of the full title, that being Aktiebolaget Gas Accumulator. I've 
never had one as they would be far too hot for the tropics. One 
site that may be of interest is:

Women's toilet? There's no such thing, they're powder rooms ;-)
