I think that this post is totally irelavant on this forum since 99% don't use light globes any way, 50% probably don't even know what a light bulb is and our speling is fine

You forgot the 5 that post to say you shouldn't be changing light bulbs as that should be done by an electrician ;D
-
& then you get into what sort of wiring you should be running to the light bulbs! >:D

On a related note, the sparkies were replacing the light fittings (I know off topic) and found that none of the lights in our house had an earth.
Sorry, couldn't help myself ;D

With the price of energy now and to save costs on that I don't change any globes when they blow. I've found that candles are much cheaper and give a more romantic setting. ;D

wow, is that place still going???

And 15 people to comment on the advantages of changing to energy saving globes and how much money they’ve saved.
Followed by another 37 people to comment on how much money they’ve saved by going completely off grid and running their whole house off solar.
Then that 1 guy posts that renewables are unreliable and “science is crap”!
And the mods swiftly lock that thread before it really goes down hill... ;)
-
And 27 people commenting that the fact the globe failed meant it was not fit for purpose and under consumer law you can sue the manufacturer and if that doesn't work advising an approach your favourite tabloid TV current affairs program for help in exposing the scam that is light globes.
