Gah! It’s all in French. I’ll have to dig back to my GCSEs to read that.

J’en ai marre de French teachers. Putains.
I have ceramic sinks and they are superb. Both of mine are Villeroy and Boch and they do a huge range of styles and sizes so might be worth just having a look at their uk stockists. I think this is where I got my latest one from https://www.tapsuk.com/ceramic-kitchen-sinks-c1126 They are not cheap but worth every bean I pay for them. Mine are both two full double sinks so much bigger than you are looking for but they do lots of different ones...I have spent hours online trying to find a replacement sink that will fit into our cupboard layout.
Most of the current one's are too big and won't fit. We fancied a vitreous ceramic one in white but they are all too big.
There are composite ones, but she fears they stain all too easily. I have found some that are the right size in Stainless Steel though. Cheap as chips but probably as flimsy as anything. The search continues.
Just a word of warning. Having one courierd (?) is risky as they can easy be broken en route even though they come on pallets and do have to unpacked and examined immediately in order to make a claim. I drove to Bromsgrove to collect my last one to avoid all the hastle. I am sure there will be stockists local to you.

Ive got a belfast/butler sink to fit, since all the new stuff will be copper I looked for a copper sink errr that will be a no no
400 sovs up a grand, so pulled the plug on that.
Please impress upon her the need to not scratch / pick.

My ex s-i-l, when he built the fabulous house for him and his family he sourced a copper bath from a reclaim place. The price was extortionate. But then so many things about that house were "statement".
I sometimes wonder how he manages to live where he is as, after the divorce, he split the land up and sold the house, he now lives in the converted workshop and tool shed which used to be in the grounds. His place is fine, not to be sniffed at all and he has a huge piece of land left. But he can still see the fabulous house he built.
Still, a lot of it was his own fault, as in all divorces, or nearly all.
(I'd better get my tin hat on now!!!)
It's not funny at all. My ma was a GP when I got it and she said that mine was the worst case she had ever seen. Still have a few scars, only visible when I have a tan as they stay white.
Well some funny bits today.
Loaded up the Disco with rubbish bags, some ornery land fill, some for recycling plus a couple full of glass to take to the centre of the village as we don't have the luxury of a bin man!!
Jumped in the Disco, it wouldn't start.
This for the first time ever in 10 years of ownership. After the third turn of the key I noticed that the little warning light to do with the glow plugs hadn't come on.
So i said to myself, "This is an electrical fault". I pondered looking for fuses, getting my Foxwell out etc then said. "Blow it, it started and stopped 6 times yessdi with no problems" and decided to remember that basically it is a computer or two that happens to have wheels attached.
So I got out of the car, locked the door with the fob, jumped in and started it!!
As with a computer I turned it off and then back on again! Flipping thing. so now how can I trust it?
Got the chainsaw going to cut up yet more logs, but after a while it din't want to cut. I thought it might be that the chain needed sharpening, so I did that and had another bash. It worked fine but then did the same thing, got partway through a log then didn't really cut anymore, just span round.
So I poured chain lube over the chain and tried again, it went back to normal. The moral of this seems to be that the lack of proper chain oil lube has more of an effect than I thought.
Anyway after this got my old, faithful, reliable Ryobi two stroke strimmer out, got it ready, fresh fuel etc.
And it too wouldn't start.
And it still hasn't started despite me regapping the plug, emptying out the fuel, going throught the "flooded" caper, etc.
A bit angry to say the least. I always leave it dry of fuel and it has never not started before.
Tomoz will get W to help me test for a spark and take it from there. In two days time we will have been here a month and all I have done is mend things, (or try to), cut logs and weed-whack. Some "holiday home".
(First world problems, I apologise.)
