Changing a lamp safely
Yes, thoughts we have all had since little signs like, no user serviceable
parts inside came along.
Was there not a joke about how many health and safety officers does it take
to change a light bulb?

I was going to change a blown lightbulb in my living room, but after
reading the instructions on the fitting it says I must be a qualified
electrician.
Must I call in an electrician? It's quite dark in here now with only
my reading lamp. It makes knitting quite difficult.
If I can do it myself, how do I choose the right bulb? Is it illegal
to fit the old filament ones now? Do I have to get one of them LED
things to stop global warfare?
What about ladders? I was just going to stand on a small chair, but
apparently that isn't safe. I don't really want to buy a stepladder
(do I need to go on a course to use one?) just for one bulb, but it
might be cheaper than an electrician, unless he's good looking of
course, maybe I can answer the door with not much on and get a
discount.
