You learn something every day. I didn’t know, for example, that the new-style energy-saving light bulbs were subsidised by the manufacturers. The subsidies will disappear in a couple of months at which time the cost of the so-called energy-saving bulbs will rocket.
I had to buy a couple of these new bulbs just before Christmas at a cost of around £4 each. £4 for a blooming light bulb! And this cost is set to at least triple according to reports.
Like many other people I don’t like the clumsy, expensive new bulbs. I don’t like the light they give out and don’t believe that they are truly energy-saving. They may last longer than the old ones but they only cost a few pence.
Of course, the arguments for and against the eco bulb have been lost and the EU bureaucrats have won. By the end of next year, the sale of all the old incandescent bulbs will be banned.
So now is the time to stock up. But only if you can find them!
