What's up with you Brits and the pink lighting? 
left over from the blitzkreig:
apparently, a jew transplant living in england circa 1942-3, had the brilliant idea to corner the market on pink lightbulbs, figgering all brits would replace their standard incandescents w/ his wares.....due to blackout requirements.....aerial bombing an' all......
nigga bought a rail-car full of 'em....
he was subsequently deported, over a visa snafu & perished at one of the nazi death camps, after he was rounded up...
they only discovered the rail car (jew hid it pretty well) in 2004
so.....now all these "hip" brits ave pink lighting.........leftovers from the war, ey wat....
