replies: text: @ Eric, Very angry lamps, or possibly these. Do we use this term in UK; I've never heard it before?  Giano   (talk) 17:21, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: We do indeed use the term incandescent lamp to refer to those old light bulbs, but not to the lamp fitting as a whole, which these days is almost certainly using low-energy bulbs anyway.  Eric Corbett 18:30, 6 March 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: *Oh those horrible, useless things: one puts then in the portico to light guests on their way, and they are half way to Malta before it's bright enough to see the jetty. Giano   (talk) 19:11, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

text: *:You're living in the past Giano. We use LED lamps, which use even less power than those things you're talking about and get to full brightness instantly.  Eric Corbett 19:15, 6 March 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  What else is needed to get this article to GA quality? 

message: It may be time to consider the future of the estate, and what may be done to prevent its loss. Government policy may force the council to sell it off. This is my own view, not backed up by anything specific, but selling off land is one of the things that George Osborne specifically expects councils to do. Ashton Court has been protected by many different interests for decades, some scientific, some related to public amenity, but none of these may be enough to protect the estate for public use at all, let alone in its current state, given the forced pace of reductive change in the British State. It may become a gated community for the rich, lost to the public for generations. I am not writing this to incite defence, though I think it may be needed anyway. My point is that its future may be under direct threat, and some discussion of facts as they emerge may be best placed in the main article to keep people informed. The estate has been considered for sale in the past, at least so I have been told, but no mention of any council decisions exists in the main article. In the past 20 years or so this appears not to have been an issue, but it likely will become important in the near future that these things are recorded, so people can make decisions rather than be led blind into irrreplaceable loss. 31.51.85.171 (talk) 23:37, 21 July 2015 (UTC)
