    My grandmother used to have something like the fish shaped taps. Sadly she went a little overboard and decorated the bathroom is if it were a fishtank. Back wall of the bath area had wallpaper (!) of fish swimming in an aquarium, ceiling painted sea blue. Very claustrophobic.

    Would have sent you details of the taps but she, and I suspect the taps, are long gone.

    Your grandmother sounds like a cool bean. :).


    I feel like giving up looking for taps but I also feel like doing the sink for the house for Christmas.


    I know I have to compromise but haven't seen the compromise tap/s yet.

    There are a surprising variety of swan faucets out there.

    Few of them are actually very nice though :D


    I didn't know that Lalique made taps until yesterday either.

    You have to be a registered user to view bathroom internationals website and I know them from reputation as an acquaintance used them for multiple luxury developments for a certain type of client and I don't have time to faff seeing what the taps look like when I have to find one for me.


    Edit...

    I cannot make head nor tail of this tap n amazon.....

    I have some people with !!! signatures. Those with !!! include: Lydia, SSue, Viva, Gen, NDG on this page.

    Yes, they look the same to me. I think it might be a question of those with the signatures copying them and pasting them back into the signature block.

    I miss the days you could walk through a field to pick a free lunch or hack a puff ball to pieces with a stick...... Ahh misspent youth.

    These days many people don't know how to recognise the safe mushrooms - there have been some well publicised instances of people getting very ill with kidney (?) damage.
