    Metropol Cirrus Beige 330x235mm?

    I don't suppose anyone has, or knows of anywhere i can get, a box of these tiles (in Tono 54). I'm a box short, and CTW have just changed batches.. Typical! If you know of anywhere in the Reading area that stocks Metropol tiles, that could also be a big help. ;) Thanks in advance Scott
