Re: Lovely Lightbulbs

Don't know about your specific bulbs, but I use https://www.tlc-direct.co.uk/ for all my LED replacement bulbs and always get excellent service. Thanks! The G4s are the first three bulbs listed on this page . Very keen prices for the halogen capsules, so I will stick with these for now. Turns out t...

Re: Lovely Lightbulbs

I realise this thread has had a bit of a hiatus, but I'm looking for recommendations for good LED G4 bulbs. My under-cabinet kitchen lights use these. I've just been sticking in Tesco 20w halogen capsules, which claim to give 374 lumens of 3000K warm white light for 2 years. The light is quite nice ...

Re: The Tesco & other non-Morrisons supermarket thread

Before it closed, the butcher counter at my local Sainsbury's would package up steaks, chops, chicken breasts etc, label them and put them in a fridge in the chilled aisle. A totally pointless exercise that looked rather desperate.

Re: Coronavirus - Strange times

In other Covid-related news, my local M&S has got the nicer-smelling hand sanitiser back in (the free stuff you get as you go in the door).

Much better than the rough grain alcohol stinky stuff they were using for a while.

Re: The current state of Christmas lights

Just stumbled across these... https://www.lights4fun.co.uk/products/150-multi-coloured-led-traditional-pickwick-christmas-lights seem to be multi colour LEDs rather than warm white inside a shade, but might be a good compromise... will order some when they come back in stock, which will probably be...

Re: The current state of Christmas lights

The other thing is I've never been able to locate a nice set of LED lights with the old skool flowery shaped shades - you can still get these on old fashioned sets, but not LED. Do any of you guys share my nostalgia for old fashioned lights - and have you been able to source a modern LED set which ...

Re: Public Transport in your particular part of the region

So the NX/Stagecoach merger (takeover) is confirmed as going ahead . Not sure about Citylink coaches up here which is owned jointly by ComfortDelGro/Stagecoach. It's a rather tired looking operation - would be nice to see it branded NX with a better website and apps. My former wish won't be happenin...
