    Perhaps I did not make myself very clear. Firstly, I was saying that I did not think that any tile is so nice that anyone would pay £800/sq. mtr. I am not in the band of people who could even consider paying that much. The notion that you might get 80% discount is a bit fanciful to say the least. As to asking for discounts in general, well you can only ask. I probably did not express myself very clearly. I am not really knocking the op. Just the general idea of so-called "must-have". I will stop now, before I dig myself in any deeper.

    No worries, I understand you now. For what it's worth I completely agree and would never pay that much for tiles... but I can dream about that 80% discount ;)
