Now normally i've been using 'google images' for ages, an lately ive tried Yahoo's equivalent facility, but after coming up blank i wondered if maybe theres a better site to go with?

What i'm talking about is a site where whatever you type into it, it usually comes up a picture or two.

* for the record, the picture i was searching for was of a 'cadbury's chocolate flake' bar, so i could email it to a guy in america as he'd never seen one except that hot advert they made in the late 80's, but all i could find was a photo of it in its wrapper, whereas he'd like to see what it looks like when fully 'unwrapped' - an no i'm not sending him a picture of a '99 ice-cream cone'!

The price is $1.80, and I'm guessing you can't get them.

well, to quote Kryten 'from red dwarf': an excellent idea sir, if not for 1 minor point, that being, my house doesnt have any digi-camera or scanner.

Googling for images is not so good anymore.
Do a search for "reference image library" this will give a list of sites that provide images for artists etc, mostly copyrite free.
Not sure you'll get your flake though!

Is the cadbury flake extinct? Sorry I've been away from UK for a while.
