And you really are going to save a receipt for a light bulb for 8 years of course.

But have you still got the PC, I has one that I mistakenly threw out many years ago, did not think that it may be of some value in years to come.

Re: EXPLODING lightbulbs
I to have had problems with exploding bulbs, and they came from Tesco if i'm not mistaken heh
I used to have issues with a ceiling fan's bulbs exploding in a grand fashion, it made me nervous whenever I used to turn the light on, heh
Speaking of energy saving bulbs though, a large electric company here in Worthing (Southern electric) gave out 2 bulbs per pupil once, so we got 4
This was back in 1995/1996, we still have 2 in operation to this date.
The other two broke due to being knocked over several times (table lamps)
