Anybody Know The Name Of Those

tube light thing's that you put in a child's bedroom or nursery.

They are quite tall and give off a relaxing glow, a bit like those 60 lava lamps but a lot bigger. Thanks.

I have found this on the 'net this morning. Its 2 feet tall apparently.

I wonder if you are thinking of Bubble Lamps. :-

That looks right Hans...I couldn't find these when I looked earlier. Very reasonable at only £24. But I wouldn't recommend Amazon to anybody...awful employer and they use tricks so as not to pay much, if any tax !

Available from Ebay, at the same price, with free p+p ::

And you can collect from your nearest ARGOS store, if you are not in to receive parcels !

Blimey thanks Mikey & Hans,

Just what I was looking for, and I really tried before I posted.

Have you worked at Amazon Mikey, as I have used them for years and no complaints?

Thanks again.

I haven't worked there but I know plenty who have, as they have a warehouse ( sorry...a "fulfilment centre" they are American after all ) in Swansea, the size of about 11 football pitches. It is non-unionised and the working conditions are pretty awful. There have been many investigations into Amazon by the papers and on TV. Here are a few examples.

To be honest I thought all this was common knowledge. Of course your experience as a consumer was OK, but they achieve this by the way they work and that they refuse to pay any corporation tax in Britain, beyond a token amount. That is why I no longer use Amazon. I have no wish to support this kind of company.
