When I was site supervisor at the local primary school we had a plumbing refurb and there were lots of Belfast sinks up for grabs. When the teachers came back to school I mentioned the sinks to them, they all went that day. They are popular with gardeners. Dave |

Back in 1960 when I was 7 when I was at boarding school, they used to bath us in those. Followed by a compulsory cold shower. Don't ask, it was an odd school. -- G, %Profound_observation% |
