I Don't Believe It!!

"We forget just how painfully dim the world was before electricity. A candle, a good candle, provides barely a hundredth of the illumination of a single 100 watt light bulb."
Bill Bryson

About fell on my back in nearest supermarket to see a price tag of £6.50 on the lightbulb I needed for our dining room. I could almost have got a 'meal deal' for two with a bottle of wine. Nevertheless I went ahead with the purchase, (investment), as the food would possibly not have added much illumination to the situation. The bulb is now installed but gives out a rather harsh, white light - not too good for us ageing ladies!
