I was going to change a blown lightbulb in my living room, but after

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.

I'll give you a 50% discount if you are Scottish AND a red head.

However I am not prepared to say what you will be getting 50% of.

That'd make interesting reading in the local rag....

Retired Scottish redheaded widow dies after being impaled on an inch
of hot rod. It is suspected the 50% discount on the charge she asked
for was paid in kind and she dies from asphyxiation during laughing
so hard.

I would be happy to settle down with a Scottish red head.

They are tigers in bed.
