If Britain leaves the EU, does that mean we can have back our white oil based paint that
doesn't yellow? And can we get rid of that bloody awful and potentially dangerous Edison Screw system? |

New ones come with a switch in them Brian, so the contacts only become live when there's a bulb present. Not sure if it's a mandatory requirement - most places seem to stock them with and without.

I take it you are aware that it is possible to slice a banana without peeling it? ????????????????? I fail to see your point. It is possible to slice the banana, yes. Then to affect the curvature another slice would be needed. This "wedge" would then need to be removed from the main mass of the banana. This last bit would be difficut and I'm not aware of a process that would allow this. AB |

AB I see you,re one of the ****-fer-brains. As all electric heating appliances are 100% efficient, it's pointless reducing wattages. Overall, more power is used due to longer working times. However, for non-heating electrical applications there's scope for new/better technology that is more efficient. Which is what all this is about. |

Only if you can persuade Ikea not to sell it I know of nowhere else with any noticeable market share that sells them tim B&Q for one. They're pretty common. |
