Apparently they're not allowed to be sold at all, but a few people are ignoring/bending the rules and selling them on ebay and the likes. There's no law to stop you importing them from outside the EU, but there's going to be hefty taxes on them if intercepted by HMRC in a couple of years. The white bulbs are called "Pearl", so you need 100W Pearl lamps/bulbs

They were banned earlier this year squire, or was it late last year ?? Anyway, they are now illegal to sell in any shop, and it wasn't a UK ruling, it was the EUSSR. You should still be able to get clear 100W bulbs, but they, along with 60W pearls, will soon be doing a similar disappearing trick, closely followed by nearly ALL incandescent lamps within the next few years or so.

Would that be the day of her coronation :Scull:

Just got my tax bill for 2009 . . . Income (on the books) last year 330,000 Kr (£35K), tax for the year 160Kr (£16) whoopeeeeee !!!! :Cool: I think it should have been a bit higher though, for some reason he "forgot to mention" about 150,000 Kr of what I earned in cash :Scull:
