Source of Ozzie Bright light bulbs?

Poundland

NT

Take them back to your local shop. Have you checked that they're the right voltage?

They've probably been subjected to rough handling. Remember the days when small retailers would test each bulb before ringing them up? I wonder if anyone still does that?

The little shop in Madeley still did it when I last bought a bulb from them, about a year ago.

Dishes? Salop, Staffs, or Perth (Western Australia)? I ain't seen any near the Shropshire one. There's the power station chimney and cooling towers at Buildwas, and The Wrekin, of course.

? ? ? ?

When you have the Wrekin with the TV antenna, the power station at buildwas and the Severn to guide you ?

And Madley ain't Madeley.

Having a clue as to which county you are in helps too ...

If you're that far astray ...

Pot black kettle ...

In fact some of the erroneous postings you've come up with have been potentially dangerous

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold. I remember "Graham." saying something like:

Not just the small ones, I recall Woolies doing it, with a bulb tester at every till. H&S would be aghast at such a thing now. I wonder how we ever survived.

(Just following up my own post in case anyone else has the same problem.)

I wrote to the Ozzie Bright address in Birmingham (thinking it was probably a waste of a stamp) and today to my surprise got an apology from Messrs Poundland and a £2 voucher. I guess I must have bought them there, but actually thought that the local branch had opened only after the 75W bulbs vanished from all retail shelves. So full marks to Poundland. If you find their bulbs fail, make sure you complain too, as their letter claimed mine was the only such complaint that they'd ever had.
