When political correctness went mad and unelected bureaucrats in Brussels forced everyone to buy "woke" LED bulbs instead of incandescents.
I remember back in t’olden days when everywhere was falling over themselves to give energy saving bulbs away.
Those bulbs were crap. Who wants bulbs that have to warm up before they get to full brightness, which wasn't very bright anyway?
The fluorescent tube in our kitchen went on the blink last week. I'd been looking at prices for replacement tubes and it was only then that I discovered that they've been banned since September. Then, when I was taking the faulty tube out of the fitting, it started to fall apart, so I wouldn't be able to install another tube, even if I could get one. This was turning into a classic 1st world problem as we were having the new boiler installed on Monday and didn't have fully operational lighting in the kitchen.
Anyroadup, the boiler is now working as the missing part was delivered and installed this morning, and we've got an order in for an LED replacement for the knackered fluorescent tube, so hopefully we won't have an ugly mark on the ceiling where the old one used to be.
