Credit where credit's due, it was used a year before Stephenson's lamp. On the lightbulb: Joseph Swan, a British inventor, obtained the first patent for the same light bulb in Britain one year prior to Edison's patent date. Swan even publicly unveiled his carbon filament light bulb<strong> in Newcastle, England</strong> a minimum of 10 years before Edison shocked the world with the announcement that he invented the first light bulb. Edison's light bulb, in fact, was a carbon copy of Swan's light bulb. Pedants’ Corner:

I think it reflects our city and the pride that we have in being County Durham's biggest football team ( and at present also the north east's). Anyway fuck off and do some more surveys. I'm loving your work Simon, good luck with it, see you soon I hope Mark Simon, as you know the Sunderland Stadium of Lightcwas a brand new building when it was named thus, it being one of the top stadiums in the country totally dominating St. Hotch Potch Park ( or should thst be Fat Ashley’s chav emporium@St. Hotch Potch Park) The reason given for naming it the Sunderland Staduim of Light was that the town was the place where the lightbulb and Davey Lamp were invented and that the entrance to the ground was were the miners at Wearmouth Colliery would cone in to the light after a hard shift underground.
