When you've finished, it's £140 6mm no bevel.

So go to IKEA and buy a cheap one.

I will now treasure the one that's bigger, has holes cut for hanging
and cost me £15 at the local glazier 20 years ago!

You won't get it for half...you may be lucky and get it for a tenner a
square foot, which will still make it £120

I have one propping up my garage wall. 4'x3' bevel edge, used to have a
nice gilt frame now covered in what otherwise would have covered the
garage wall. No guarantee it will improve bedroom performance but yours
for a modest sum:-)

If 750mm x 950mm (29.5" x 37.5" ish) with drilled holes and bevelled
edges is near enough, I've one in good nick that I took off the bedroom
wall a couple of weeks ago.

Email me if you're interested.

You'll need to collect from Leeds, though...

What is the mirror for? In theory a mirror needs to be only half
the height and width of a person, in order to see the whole of
themselves in it. Do you have someone there who is 96" high and
72" wide?

I can buy a framed mirror that I can see the whole of myself in,
for about £20 here in NZ. I can't believe UK prices.

Have you never heard of over the fire place,the mantle piece is nice and
chunky/wide and a mirror smaller than a mantle piece looks out of place, a
couple of inches smaller is ok.

It's called VAT(Value Added Tax). :-( a two ounce pkt of tobacco in france
or any othe european country outside the uk is about 2.25GBP(if that?) in
the UK it's 10.50GBP...hows that for gov ripping us off.

Mirrors can be used for other things; to make a room appear bigger, for
example.

That's more due to Excise duty rather than VAT

VAT is 'only' 17.5% and european countries all have it anyway. Tobacco and
fuel in the UK have a 'special' tax called duty.

Actually it's mainly duty. I think it's great. Should be at least
triple that figure.

If everyone who smokes cuts down or stops due to these pub bans etc you do
realise *your* taxes will go up to fund the reduction in duty? Then
there's the cost to the puplic purse of all those who stop living

Mirrors can be used for other things; to make a room appear bigger, for

At work we have a room containing about 180 mirrors, each 2
metres by 1 metre. People get lost in it every day.

Similar flaw in the campaign to abolish or reduce Inheritance Tax. Just
means that everyone (including those who would fall below the IHT
threshold) will pay more direct or indirect tax during their lifetime
and save less to pass on to their children.

There's no way we're shifting it 20,000km.
What amazes me is that nobody has broken any mirrors, and that
someone decided to pay for the things in the first place if they
are £200 each in the UK. Maybe we got a discount for quantity.

But the money will be spent on something else instead which will
probably be taxable. The same is true in reverse: when the Daily Mail
gets hysterical about all the extra money that Gordon is getting because
of higher oil prices, it forgets that less money is being spent
elsewhere so other tax receipts fall.

Start living longer, you mean? The next lot can pay for them ...
