Looks like alabaster to me, are they thick? Fairly modern design.

unless you really like them and have a use for them, I suggest you put them back in the bag and drop them again. These were made yesterday in Romania - and you might develop a dislike sooner or later. I know I did!

Hi Steve, I'm sure these are still on sale in Focus DIY - I saw some around Christmas. Definitely contemporary. Incidentally quite often seen second-hand in our local Age Concern warehouse too.

Hi Steve,
if you want to replace the broken one, you might try B & Q or Homebase!

Cheers
Andy :D

I thought you'd say that ! ;D  The Age Concern ones are usually cheaper...  I'm sure others will appear at a low price for you. :)
