  Um....  A lesser known fact about the gobshite they call me...  I  
  collect Blue Glass too!
  Have to confess tho, most of it wasn't bought in Bristol coz it IS hard  
  to track it down there for some bizarre reason (Brizzle people - isn't  
  there a shop up by Christmas Steps somewhere?  Near that bit of wall  
  that's black and white checked tiles...?  If that's already been  
  answered, do ignore me!  Have to confess that I only really half read  
  these posts!)

  Anyway.  Blue glass.  Yes.  I love it too.  I can't help it.  It's just  
  so beauuuutiful.  :o)
