PS - If you click on the map on that Blue Glass website, it appears that the factory is near a road called... "Gerrard Close"!

I wonder if he will be?

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)
