what remained of the lamp packet, as it was in a damp cellar the packet had completely delaminated, so i saved the best bit which has made a decent photo if nothing else. Was a new tube, but one of the pins rotted off in the damp

Better when the utilities were public the big 6 are screwing us over!

You maybe able to link it out Phil

My Grandad used to work at a powerstation, he retired in the 1980's, he used to bring back tungstens with this same electric board 'E' on the lamps, i have one new in a packet, same font in the orange lettering.

Before privatisation, the powerstation side of it was called the C.E.G.B. the Central Electricty Generating Board, when sold off it went to Powergen , think even that name has gone into the history books now

And you would have electricity board shops with TV adverts and a chearful jingle.

Think your right Phil been devided up even smaller! mind you wonder if EVERYONE was on the same tariff back then or weather the tariff varied for different company's / people / areas? Would other public facilities even still get a bill???

Lovely I've never seen leccy board tube packets thanks for showing

EDF Energy have me on a 14.88p per kWh at the minute I shopped around last month and got a quote for 10.28! That's a hell of a difference

i seem to recall an advert with 'superted' bear wizzing around selling their wares lol
