Mr Screwfit Lightbulb
Here in Leatherhead, we have quite a few 'characters', the one that stands out to me is one that me and my boss refer to as Mr Screwfit.

We were once replacing some lights in the showroom, when he walked in and started telling us the merits of screwfit lightbulbs over the bayonet fitted variety.. for about 30 minutes.

Now over the years, if we know he is in the area of the showroom, one of us will stand at the doorway, and with expert timing, shout to the other person in the showroom "no, I think you will find that screwfitting lightbulbs are the best".. then quickly piss off as Mr Screwfit takes a red anorack wearing, shopping trolley pulling detour into the showroom for a rant.

We have been doing this for years, and it never gets boring!

We also had another one, who seemed to have some sort of ocd like ritual in that he would enter the shop at the exact same time every week, do a lap, then exit without as much as a word.. you could set your watch by him!

So, what are the benefits?

Everyone knows that bayonet cap beats edison screw hands down.
Say for example you're in an earthquake (heaven forbid!) - as the earth shakes it's going to loosen the bulbs that are screwed in, cause as we all know a big vibration loosens anything that screws! & all your bulbs will fall out of their sockets!
Bayonet caps - no thread, no loosening, all still intact so with the lights still on you can really see the tons of rubble falling down on top of you.
