How dull

[The Dong]

As is traditional in the UK, we hear nothing about it until it's almost 
too late:

I had wondered why it was more and more difficult to get the 100W bulb 
used in our livingroom light. Honestly, I had no clue it was because it 
was being phased out completely until today, the day before its phasing 
out ;)

Nothing but a 100W will do (too dark) so I suppose we will have to 
change the fittings again and use poo lights.. All other bulbs in the 
house are power saving, except two.

I don't like these fluorescent power saving lights anywhere but in 
bedrooms, cupboards and kitchen. If it's in a place where you need good 
light a lot of the time, good luck. From experience, it's bad. As for 
LED lighting, cough, is this phasing out of incandescent bulbs also a 
massive profiteering venture? (plus the light quality generally sucks, 
unless you spend a lot experimenting and, luckily for the sellers, 
replace one older bulb with three or four, or more, of the new ones)


I'm going to use a 1000W halogens throughout my house, just because I 
can still enjoy the freedom to do so! Mt home will be the shining 
light.... :)

Pearls are history!
Choice is an illusion!


Now, if only our gub'mint would outlaw crappy UK confectionery, to be 
replaced with tastier EU sweeties. Mainly proper chocolate, but lots of 
other sweets are lacking. That I would welcome.
