Are you making light of this situation?

And you must already know that it always takes a council some time to give anything the green light. Rolling Eyes

Maybe I can do them a deal, the traffic light tree I put up at Billingsgate has lots and lots of the old style bulbs. They are going to swap for LEDs right now to save on the power bills.

How much for a secondhand bulb, only about 20 years old, a few careful owners, never been raced?

Betteridge's Law applies. Wink

It might just be an excuse to build even more roundabouts though.
