Being a cheapskate I bought some oak flooring at Wicks which was on
special offer some time ago. Probably about 6 months. It's tongue and
groove lengths made out of smaller rectangles glued together and looks
just fine when laid.
I have some left over and would like to use it on a landing - but I've
not got quite enough. I've looked at Wicks and they don't do anything
similar anymore. What would the chances be of matching it elsewhere?

Can't help with your flooring but this...

reminded me,

On holiday in Holland in August I saw a boy (approx 4 years old) wearing a T
shirt with "My Dad Thinks He's A F**king Hero (without the *'s) on it. The
shirt was obviously a mass produced one and not home made, I had to take a
picture of him as I thought people back home wouldn't believe it.

Cheers

It's a good job almost no-one in the Netherlands speaks English.

If you have the 6 digit SKU number ringing round might help, list of
branches in their price list - or ring their head office.

I've a feeling it was end of range - and it was some time ago. But I'll
give it a try.

Would you be able to use a similar-but-different flooring as a feature
border around the landing, using the Wickes stuff in the centre, as a
feature?

Nice idea - but probably too much of a faff.
