    As RS suggested Philips or Osram Craig. As long as they are the correct wattage and type of lamp as some sound like they are fluorescent style tubes and others are what's called a PL lamp - that's the only ones I have seen and replaced anyway.

    Maybe if I hadn't gone down the pub so much I could have been an expert in my industry and not an expert in trying not to fall asleep in the afternoon lessons

    Well I didn't want all the extra work that goes with being an expert and also the definition of an expert is - an 'ex' is a has been and a 'spert' is a drip under pressure lol

    Did you go Erith Technical College?

    Used to drive past it every day to work, but get train now.

    Think it's called Bexley campus or something now.

    If I were you Craig I would see if anyone else is selling them for a similar figure anywhere and then tell the people you have just bought it from to cancel the order and if they ask why you can tell them about what they charged you and their eBay price.

    Thats what I am going to do tomorrow. I will give them a ring to discuss!! And see what they say. I bought the drum uv and all my pumps from them so was trying to be loyal but at another 30 quid I will ring them and give the benefit of doubt as it is probably a mistake.

    Good luck Craig personally if they don't discount it lower than their ebay price after all you have bought from them I would tell them to stick it right up their Mavis Fritter lol
