    mrs plums been giving me ear wartch ( northern slang for ache ) she wants a new bath panel, So I priced a new quality shiney white one and we're lookin' at £50, the one thing i've learned over time is, there's always an alternative, ya just gotta look, so i had a look on ebay and blow me down there's a geezer selling a BNIB one starting at .99p just 20 miles away, So i make a bid and bugger me I won it at .99p if thats not the bargain of the year i don't know what is,
    now the other lesson I've learned in life is, don't tell the wife it was only .99p so keep it schtum you guys

    ( tips nose), :)

    I think the fact it's 240v the reason it didn't sell, can't be used on sites. :)
