That is very funny indeed Kateykrunch grin

Plus one to introduce Brexit into the discussion by asking if we can go back to incandescent bulbs which had been phased out in stages in the UK since 2009 thanks to widely-unpopular European regulations.

I am sure I could find an appropriate link in the Daily Mail wink
