"A throne fit for a King!!!"

***************************************************************

This page updated on Tuesday 10th July 2007

Our toilet was fitted with one of the "normal-cheap-plastic" seats
It was going yellow with age, so we purchased this timber one - which we still have

I cannot remember where we bought it from or how much we paid,
but I would guess at Woolworths or KMart and around $20.00 to $30.00

Just recently I saw the one below for sale on the Ebay Auctions
This appears to be an original, whereas ours is a reproduction
