Any fluorescent tubes? (excluding cold cathode ones)

A lot of domestic appliances use vacuum fluorescent displays, which are triodes with directly heated cathodes.

Domestic microwave ovens are all based on a magnetron. Then there are VFDs, which are matrix triodes.

I dont have one. All LEDS. I havent seen a vaccuum display on new kit in 15 years
And its a bit strange to call that an appliance base.

I would argue that these are not 'thermnionic valves' with a 'long warm up time'.

They are as much valves as thermionic diodes are. Were gas-filled voltage regulators cold cathode, they'd still have been colloquially valves? What about thyratrons? Anyway, the OP said thermionic, not valve related.

Are you sure about that? They were once common, but mostly LED these days.
Have one in the old car, and it's brighter than any LED display I've seen so good in the sun.

No, he said thermionic valve as in :
"bzzt. Most people own or use a thermionic valve based appliance today."
Which was a stupid attempt at trolling because he obviously was just being a smartarse and reassigning a different meaning from 'thermionic valve' than had been used by the person he responded to.
In short Tabbypurr was just trying to be clever.
