More Brit-tiki on the beachcomber theme or possibly a Butlins Hotel. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=60677&item=2248787897&rd=1

I googled the information that was given on Ebay and it appears there is still a hotel there it might be worth contacting them to see whats the story is. Yup and i got the salt and pepper set, usually i get out bidded but guess everybody else was after the tiki bowls that were being sold this week.
