I saw this. Thanks to Haringey's "Better Homes" program, they have fitted lights in the kitchen and bathroom that we can't change when the 'bulb' has gone. The bathroom, for example, has four screws that hold a glass cover over what ever type of bulb is in there. So that means that when that bulb goes I'll have to call out someone to change it for me. At £25ph that's an expensive bulb.
