I have both. It's become so complicated. I remember when it so simple 60 or 100 watt bayonet or nothing. Now you can spend a whole day trying to work out what you need.

G4 G11 GU10 H4 to name a few, do you want that in lumens or watts, what colour temperature would you like, will they be dimmable, full colour changing, controllable via the internet? Did I miss anything?

Agreed but I am fussy about light quality and colour. My uncle was an early adopter of the old low wattage lamps and his kitchen was like a gloomy green tinged nightmare that made me nauseous. Cold LEDs are also shit and especially offensive in modern cars like the fucking Mini or Range Rovers up your ass.
Sitting rooms need warm light, but specular so they throw pools of light not a fuzzy blur. I'd better stop there... it's a pet subject and I can go on for hours.
So...you
The big light spoils the mood.Like in a cinema when the films finished and the big lights come on.
Theres always a low guttural groan from the audience.
dont want..."the big light" putting on.

you need good lighting in a kitchen, but ambient lighting for other rooms
when the lights go down in the cinema, you mentally slip into that state of heightened anticipation, a willingness to embrace the 'magic'... as the credits roll and the lights are still low, you're still a part of the experience. Soon as those lights go up, the mood's broken, everyday reality returns.
a BIG difference between parties i went to in the UK and parties here in the US is lighting: Americans' norm for a party is well-lit room with ADDITIONAL lighting! It totally lacks the intimacy of darker rooms with loud music to dance to and all manner of coloured lights.

Interesting to read the headline that Cressida Dick felt 'intimidated' into resigning, suggesting her shambolic handling of pretty much everything she touched hadn't registered with her. Maybe she attended the same Integrity classes as Boris?
Yep..the big light in the living room.Far too bright.
Boris far exceeded my expectations.
I sometimes wonder if Boris didn't exceed his own expectations. Remember that kid at school who was up for anything? Sometimes, he succeeded.

I thought Italian politics was bad but we really seem to be scraping the bottom of the barrel. The country needs a Winston Churchill character in its hour of need but I’m not sure we have one lying around anywhere.
How is half the population going to be able stay warm this winter. But really is it that big of an issue when you see the strife and suffering in the floods in Pakistan. There appears to be a new inland sea.

The NHS is being broken up by stealth mode anyway. As someone who works within the NHS but is not employed by them and who is married to someone who is employed by the NHS it is very noticeable the sneaky way that certain departments are run and operated by external companies. The break up is work in progress.

I've never understood the British obsession with manual gearboxes.

In the past, say a decade ago, manual gearboxes meant better fuel consumption - if they were driven carefully.
Now? Most automatics will provide better fuel consumption than most drivers.
But we are slow to adapt.

Cost! Manual is cheaper, or at least it was years ago.
