If you like that sort of thing, of coarse. |

Stick-on tiles
I have seen tiles to stick over existing tiles advertised on the web, but I
would like to see them before buying. Does anyone know of a 'shed' that stocks these, or even an outlet here on Tyneside. -- Jim S Tyneside UK www.jimscott.co.uk |

Then again I know of one exception... ntl once described its dial up service saying 'time to put the kettle on' NT |
