There are many varieties of taps, capstan handle, valence, mixer, lever - but the one we all know and love are the good old bibcock taps.

These taps are the one with the spout that goes out and down. They conjure up traditionalism and look good with ceramic sinks in particular. The ones above come in satin nickel but you can get them in brass or chrome. They are a lot of people's favourite - people find them cute and classic and a kitchen essential.

One of our most commonly requested items is the ceramic single sink.

 Why? Well, we do a massive range of them, they're easy to fit, they go well with almost all types of kitchen, they're classic design but they can also be modern in style...need we go on?

We admit to loving playing pranks on our family. We found this video of someone who has fiddled with his ceramic kitchen sink so the water sprays outwards and on to his poor mum.

 Thankfully, she took it well even though she got totally soaked, and it's her howling laughter at the end which makes us giggle.

For mums everywhere - never fully trust your kids!

 We understand this cat. We know what it's like to love a ceramic sink that much that you just want to lie in it and chew the taps. And if that makes us sound weird, well that's fine...

 And like the cat, we don't like it when the water's too cold :o(
