I've just tried to repair a broken table lamp and the replacement fitting
I bought didn't screw onto the base of the lamp as it was a different
size. This is a new lamp, I thought they were all one standard size.
Anyone know what's going on?

Looks like you've bought the good old fashioned 1/2 Inch size.

try getting a 10mm one.

the 1/2 inch and 10mm ones are most common types u can get.
