Wednesday January 10 8:37 AM ET Light Bulb Went Unchanged for Nearly 70 Years dailynews.yahoo.com LONDON (Reuters) - The light in a men's toilet in a British shop has finally gone out -- after nearly 70 years. Staff at the Martin and Newby electrical shop in the eastern English town of Ipswich were now wondering whether the unmarked 25-watt bulb had set a world record, British newspapers reported Tuesday. ``We can tell from the shape of the bulb that it must have been made in the 1930s. It is quite amazing that it lasted so long,'' the shop's managing director Michael Atkinson was quoted as saying by the Daily Mail. ``I suppose it's a one-off -- but it shows that things were made to last in the old days. We are now safely tucking it away until we can find out more about it.''
