doesn't yellow? And can we get rid of that bloody awful and potentially dangerous Edison

Nope. That was allowed even before the EU was even invented.

The exit will lose all fervour when the populace realises the benefits

I don't believe it ever had any real fervour except with
a minority who won't be enough to see Britain leave.

Does that mean the 600W one I have is illegal?

The fact that right wing anti-EU newspapers all print the same lies is
not really surprising.

There are no EU proposals to restrict the maximum power of hairdryers,
smartphones or kettles (although Apple may be forced to allow users to
replace their batteries).

Any one who wasn't ****-fer-brains would realise that a higher wattage will use less power overall because there are less losses because the process is quicker.

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.

B&Q. They sell BC too, but the range is noticeably smaller.

B&Q for one.
They're pretty common.

How odd. Never ever had any white oil paint that didn't yellow. Ever. And
I've been painting things for 50 years.

I think in the case of ES, they were around a long time before the eu. I
just think its choice. I can still apparently get bc, but how is that any
safer, stick a finger into a live bc socket as a test.

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.

Many BC sockets are completely safe; I make a point of buying and using
those.

They are the standard in the USA and have been for around 100 years.

ICBA to read all the posts, but at least we are left with all our phones

According to the Dulux, this was a short term problem, which was
corrected by a change in formulation in 2011.

I prefer it to bayonet. I've never had an ES lamp glass break free from
its base because the contact pins have indented into the solder on the
lamp and stopped the base from turning.

I had one break because it was screwed in too tightly

I had an ES bulb unscrew from its base the other day.

Annoyingly it was a working bulb I was stealing as a temporary measure
to put somewhere more important
