a) There's been a thread largely condemning the use of the word 'peeps'.

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:-)

this neck of the woods. :-)

I'd call that generous:-)

I'm fond of complaining that I farm within 15 miles of 1 million plus
people which gives a rather centre-ist view of location. Mid-West Herts.

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.

They are familiar with the concept in NZ, but they call it GST, and it's
only 12.5%

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.

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

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