End of an era?

Having seen someone mentioning that Toolstation were still stocking MBF lamps - and at £0.84 each obviously on clearance, I did some checking. These appear to be the last two in stock anywhere in Buckinghamshire.

Sure some smaller wholesalers will still have some old dusty stock for a while yet...but I reckon this is probably the end of my seeing them in a mainstream retailer.

I'll probably keep one of these as having one of the last seems worthy for the collection, may find a use for one though as I've never really used mercury for anything, reckon I should fix that just for interest value.
