Bargain tile places?   
After spending 4 hours going round tile shops today (Glasgow) my wife
finally decides she likes the 20 x 25 bumpy white tiles.
It was costing 280 all in.
I came home and put "bumpy white tile" into Google and found a company down
south doing the same amount for 70 plus 20 delivery charge!!

So to cut a long story short, does anyone know any cheap tile shops online
that I may have missed with Google or preferably one within driving distance
of Glasgow?

Many thanks.

Steven.

Have you tried Topps?
http://www.toppstiles.co.uk
I know they have a store out Paisley way but I'm not sure what else they 
have around the city.

Wouldn't go that far.  The prices might not be bad but the quality is not 
exactly hand crafted.
