Thanks to everyone for their input on this thread, but won't need the plugs this year, just been told I have to go in to hospital for bypass surgery on my leg, I've waited 11 months for this and can't give up the chance of going in now.
Sorry to hear that, davie - but your health has to come first. Hope you'll soon be up and about and able to enjoy another holiday in Icmeler - complete with sink plug!
