They're quite nice in a sleazy kind of 70's porn-flick way!
Just need some shag pile toilet seat and pedestal covers to go with them now.

I hear; I forget
I see; I remember
I do; and I understand.

I found the tiles really difficult to mark because of the funny shape, you can see where i effed up a bit if you zoom in on the sink pedestal.
i have to go back today and give it another clean up and seal round the sanitry wear and cover up that jaggedy cut. if it still looks bad i'll lift it and re-do, there was a couple spare.

Did a conservatory floor a few months ago and had to cut back some of these tile as the old external door had been moved back. The customer said he would have liked to have continued the existing tiles into the conservatory but luckily they are no longer available.
