    Why the fuck does 'nowhere offline' in the UK sell screw lightbulbs 100+w equivalent? Bayonet, yes, screw.. no, go fuck yourself.

    WHYY.

    I shouldn't have to buy a lightbulb over the fucking internet.

    • Try living in California where you can't buy a gallon of varnish but you can buy four quarts.lemmy_k
    • hahaha, sorry, I forgot about that ;)

      And yes, I can find them on Amazon lol

    • Light bulbs have gotten far too complicated.stoplying
    • Maybe B&Q if you have one near you.Morning_star
    • Nope. Nor Wickes, ScrewFix or Homebase. None of the likely candidates I have nearby have them. There must be a reason, however stupid.Nairn
    • What about a supermarket? I saw loads in Sainsbury's yesterday.Ianbolton
    • Screw fitting, 100+W?
      I've tried three Sainsbury's near me too :(
      Bayonet, yes. Screw? GO FUCK YOURSELF.

    • Needed a new oven bulb last week. Bulb sections in shops all seem to be decimated. Asda, Sainsburys, B&Q...Went to about seven different shops over 2 days.webazoot
    • Gave up and ordered from Amazon, arrived a day later.webazoot
    • 100w??? Bayonet? Are you fu king kidding me??? And I thought I was a dinosaur.... Only low energy ES bulbs available these days.hans_glib
    • You are a dinosaur, old man - I said 100w *equivalent*, Screw fitting.Nairn
    • I found it very very difficult to buy stuff like that while I was in the uk. Some no name street vendors had a few things, my local hardware shop had few thingscherub
    • and the range had good stuff, but aside from those the selection was not comparable at all to the states.cherub
