I dont think we would change the buld for another bulb, we would go the L.E.D. route instead! but then ............................

You forgot:
1 random pornographic post that managed to get past the filters
1 troll that insists that all lightbulbs are crap and everyone that uses them is crap and you should use candles instead

Plus the one who said he had ordered his light bulbs from GTS and was still waiting...
Then the ones who said they were getting their popcorn to watch how this might develop!
The most important question of all ........ does the light bulb want to change ? Maybe it's happy as it is ?
^ And the ones that repeat what's already been posted^ Ha ha

And one who asks if admin could turn the lightbulb topic into a sticky so it no longer gets opened as a new topic in future.

Have you applied for the new LB scrappage scheme? You can get a 20p discount on your new low energy lamp if you send proof of purchase and an SAE to the correct department.
