I'm incandescent!

I'm one of those who are stocking up on traditional 100w light bulbs - not going over the top, but I've amassed a couple of dozen. I've nothing against the low-energy sort - I've got two or three around the house, but quite apart from my natural aversion to being told what I can and can't do, the fact of the matter is that some of my light fittings will simply not accommodate a low-energy bulb - they're just the wrong shape, and I'm buggered if I'm going to shell out for new fitments if I can avoid it. This is another example - like the decision to switch off analogue TV and radio - of those on high forcing us to spend money which we wouldn't otherwise have had to.
