RE: Web-surfing in the bath...
Mark,
Whan I was refurbing my main bathroom a month or two ago, someone sent me a
link (which I've subsequently lost, sorry), to a website of a company that
specialise in bathroom tiles with screens in them.
Would whoever sent it to me be kind enough to chip in here please...
Incidentally, what do mean that most loft conversions are a waste of money?
that certainly doesn't seem to be the case in my experience...
