On a (fortunately) frustrated attempt to ban the manufacture of light bulbs in the EU.

I’ll be buying up big the moment these things look like being taken off the shelves here. How many lightbulbs does someone need in a lifetime?

I mean the incandescent ones of course. Are these really already banned in Europe? Is the poor lighting the reason no-one is able to scrutinize EU legislation properly?

Ahem! a glance at any toothpaste tube will give a clue to the right way to spell fluorescent. Bad luck to get it wrong on both tries though!

Tim adds: I know, I know, it’s one that I’m always getting wrong myself. My only excuse is that so did the subs….and yes, The Register does have such.
