Default Re: The Gondola...... some period tat!

My preferred late 1960's/ early 1970's lamp bottle was the "Triple Vintage" cider bottle, my favourite cider and something I haven't seen for years.

When mains voltages were harmonised, our mains definitely dropped from 240V to 235V. Conversely, the mains voltage at my brother-in-law's house in France, increased from 220V to ... 235V. Incidentally, I started learning Italian last year, and was amused to learn that "Cornetto" is actually Italian for "Croissant"!
