I think we will use the brass ones down stairs and the bakelite ones up stairs and even if I change my mind they haven't cost us the earth!
It was a little more than I would normally spend and the guy simply would not budge on the price (it's rare to meet someone who is as tight fisted as myself when it comes to money) but we loved it and it will go brilliantly with our English Rose kitchen so I think in the end £25 was worth it.
It was only after we had carried it to the Land Rover and had manhandled it into the back that Rich mentioned that he has seen the guys dog peeing up the leg...which I had then been holding while we loaded it...
so other than that little rain cloud a good day!
