Hi Tink,
Well, putting my 20/20 goggles on, I can't say that I'm any
more impressed, and indeed rate this as a site I'm unlikely
to return to.
For example, in their kitchen sink range, they show tiny
pictures of stainless steel sinks on a white background.
The effect is rather like trying to see a white handkerchief
which you have dropped in the snow. Nor does their appear
to be an option (that I could find) to see a larger
illustration.
This site definitely gets a thumbs down from me, even if
only on pure, or should I say "poor", design.
George.
