C & L appear to work only for B & Q but I may be wrong. Today I
managed to put a scaffold pole through a newly installed pan. £199 is
currently quoted for the lot on site (pan seat and cistern/waste
preventer) and, of course, I do not need that - only the pan!
So a call to the B and Q help line and a really good chap (Irish), one
Paul Wineburg, (so nice that they give surnames - how refreshing) said
it was EN (?) code number 5055063583774 a 13 digit number from B and Q
but still at a princely price of £149 which is more than we paid for
the original at £139 for both!. My questions a
Is C and L merely a phantom marketing name or a real business?
What is its telephone number/email/ address? Has anyone any idea if
they actually make the stuff or just import it for B and Q only?
Better still does anyone know the original source of such a pan so I
can get it at a sensible price?

Yep, they're just a trading name for B&Q themselves

EAN13 is the standard for barcodes used in retail

I would recommend looking at your house insurance policies - sanitary
fittings are often covered.
