Is…

Cheap set of chopping boards?
Does anyone know where I can get a set of plastic chopping boards, in the HSE/FSA* colour code of red, blue, yellow, green, brown & white. Obviously, and in line with Martin's Money Mantra, they should be the cheapest available. It would also be nice if they were also available singly, so that the more commonly used ones…

Does anyone know of one that fits large bread vertically - at the moment we have a 2-slot 4 slice toaster and you have to put the bread in sideways so you…
