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.
