THE trouble I had finding an old-fashioned 100 watt light bulb.

As I said, I think it’s a Government plot to make us more miserable.

“You think VAT is bad? Make do with a 60 watt life as well.”

But, of course, there are shops where you can still get them if you know where to look.

Sue Elworthy recommended the Pet Supplies in Honley, a shop I have mentioned before.

Down the steps and you enter an Aladdin’s cave that possesses anything a pet lover or householder might want.

And, yes, they had a 100 watt light bulb.

Giles Wilkinson, the manager of Huddersfield Lighting Company, also got in touch to say that they have 100 watt bulbs in stock at their shops in town – on the corner of Queensgate Market and on Dundas Street.

So now we know where to get lit up.
