I can't give you that figure.
The shortage of lightbulbs is part of the necessary transition to a high wattage, low lumen post brexit economy.

Re: Brexit Benefits -the sunny uplands

Nigel Farage says he was hit by a van while stationary at a roundabout when searching for petrol. Made me laugh. :lol: Poetic justice if ever there was. Somewhat surprised this was an issue for him - I thought he pissed petrol... Sadly, I understand that Farage was inside his vehicle when the van h...

Re: Binge watching TV

The Foundation books were also a big part of my youth - and the 'I Robot' series. I remember a BBC radio adaptation of Foundation from the late 70's (have an MP3 of it somewhere). Also read all of the Asimov follow-up / crossover books. And have the same fascination & obsession with 'Dune' - lo...

Re: Binge watching TV

Foundation on Apple TV looks like it may have potential, I'm only 1 1/2 episodes in, but they haven't butchered the books toooo much yet. Yes I know the Emperor wasn't a clone, and they seem to have taken stuff from the non trilogy novels but it's still vaguely 'in cannon' so far. If you fancy a co...
