Shan't bother, not for a £2 bulb from Wilko. I've got other lamps with that fitting anyway, and a spare is always handy.

£2 for a lightbulb, what wattage. Last time I went looking the cheapest over 20W was over a fiver.

Sounds more exciting than cricket. Someone we knew had an Isetta, and some other DKW as well, just into 2 cycle engines, I guess. I think I rode in the DKW as a little kid.

40W equivalent, bog standard E14 candle. £2.50 actually, not £2 - checked the till receipt.
The dimmable ones are a fiver.
It won't be wasted, my desk lamp uses the same, as does the lamp on my bedside table.

Buying a vintage silver pencil as a gift for a dear friend isn't as straightforward as I'd hoped. I'm working to a budget, so compromises are going to have to be made, one way or another. Am sizing up three potential purchases:
a) fully hallmarked, in excellent condition and working order, but engraved
b) similar style as (a), no engraving, but only stamped "sterling silver"
c) fully hallmarked, in good working order, no engraving, but a less aesthetically pleasing design and heavily tarnished
Going to have to think things through. What would you folks be leaning towards - a, b or c?
I still have time, but want to get something before prices start going silly for Xmas.
