Yes! That's the one! That's the large size, and you can get 50ml pocket-sized ones too.

I originally bought the small ones, then used those containers, when empty, to be refilled from the big one.

Interesting that it is currently out of stock.

Viewing was a dud. I didn't want it, but looked anyway.... and found things were strange and skimped.

The fitted carpet must've been the cheapest known to mankind... it felt as if cheap carpet had been laid directly onto a concrete slab, no "give" whatsoever, no feeling there was any form of underlay.

Absolutely zero storage cupboards. Nothing. None. On day 1 you'd not have anywhere to put your vacuum, ironing board, dustpan/brushes, clothes airers... just "your random stuff"... the stocks of loo rolls, excess food stocks, indeed most kitchen stuff as the kitchen didn't have enough usable cupboards either, being filled with built in appliances they'd already chosen for you... the FF was of the wrong sort too (tiny freezer, vast fridge). Of course, where'd you put your "stuff" would be easy for me, Bed3 would have that, but it's poor initial design.

Kitchen was a nonsense.... two corner units were both "glory holes" where you can't see/reach to the back. The breakfast bar/worktop had a sink plonked right in the middle as if it were proud to be an aspirational feature to sit and admire.

Shared pathway to the garden gate and next door's garden gate.

Parking/driveway access was tricky and it'd be easy to find yourself blocked in/out by visitors to others in the street.

At least it's a definite "no" from me and won't ever be the "what if" one.

It should've been a good sized 2-bed/both ensuite place with exceedingly good storage and a great kitchen... they'd, instead, designed a dud.

I would love to have a European passport, but it is a no go for me. My familial links to anywhere other than England are too far back.

I see the foreign office have advised all Brits to get out of china "if you can"....

Oh dear.
