I dont know Anne are they born with them in the UK then?  ;D
Just never seen it......

Kev, I use Lidl's bathroom cleaner, or limescale remover for tough stuff. Have a look in your Lidl and see what they've got.  You want one that shifts limescale and soap scum.

Kev, magic balls are like ball bearings - you put them in the vase with some water and swirl them around - they're quite good for removing dirt inside vases where you can't get in to scrub - I'm not sure they'd be much use in your case though having taken another look at the stains you mention.  Always worth getting some in though for future use ... have a look at the link below for some more tips on removing stains from glass - magic balls are also mentioned and shown...
