I am restoring an old stone house on Losinj. I dont want to ruin it with the awful Croatian white plastic sranje light switches and power points. Can anyone tell me where I can get antique or reproduction switches and power points? The Croats all think I am a loon wanting these touches and I am getting no help at all.

So you're looking for old round bakelite style switches ? Order them from the Uk. Don't think you'll find them here. www.willowandstone.co.uk/ShowDetails.asp?id=1058Alternatively I could go around the basement storage area of every old building in zagreb and offer to replace theirs with new ones bought and paid for by you. Second thoughts, maybe you could try that ploy yourself.

There's a great garden/DIY/house fitting centre just outside of Rijeka, Å kurinje way. Worth a try!

As a foreigner I am " Glup ko Stup" (As dumb as a post) They will try to cheat me. Also I have enough crazy old ladies to deal with here without talking to more:) I have reached my crazy old lady saturation point.
