Thumbs down How many...

How many bulbs does it take to change a lightbulb? Answer, four if they're
"Wilko extra value 100W pearl light bulbs".



I needed a 100W bulb in my bathroom, shaving was getting tricky under a dull 40W glow. So picture my delight when, after a special trip to Wilkinsons, i found a pack of four for less than a pound!

Unfortunately the excitement did not last long. 5 days, and about 3 hours of use and ping, first one went. New one in, next day its gone. I'm currently on number 3 bulb of 4 but at the rate of 2 a week it's gonna end up costing me £30 over the year just to shower in the light! That kind of cash could buy me tyres with some tread on them...
