Well it ain’t no more.
For some time now – a century? – our towns have been enveloped in a yellow / orange glow. That warm, sometimes reassuring, glow is turning a bright white as incandescents are phased out and LEDs phased in, and it seems that wildlife won’t be celebrating. No doubt there are others (incandescent climate change deniers?) who will miss it too, and will campaign vigorously for their reinstatement. I for one have acquired some retro Edison style bulbs, but only because I am a debauched aesthete and they look great. Maybe they – the deniers – will campaign to leave the EU, and dump the Environmental Acquis that brings with it all those punishing directives that make life so difficult for businesses, who would rather sell you untested, unproven, unreliable, and uncertified products for the sake of a few lousily paid jobs.
