I bought a great equivalent from the local Pound Shop. Complete with tool for removing old silicone. It all works well.

I have one of these packs and it's fine. I used all three profile pieces during the cloakroom project together with the recommended release agent.
If you feel aggrieved, take a trip on the M20 and visit a Leroy Merlin, or jump on a Eurostar as it passes your door and go to BHV in Rivoli. In both of these you will find a similar German product called Fugenass.
For some reason, the marketing of this product in the UK has not been all that successful. Seemingly people misunderstood.
Either way, you can visit the Aladdin's Cave which is the hardware department of BHV and then have an excellent lunch of fruits de mer before wending your way home.
This is a pilgimage that every handyman and self respecting DIYer should make.

I used to live just nearby BHV
I doubt it's ever possible to "find" anything in there. You just have to wander around aimlessly, hoping you'll happen across it by chance. Right little warren it is.

You are thinking of the Fugi set - different make:

Last time I went in there a few weeks ago, they were re-organising it. The electrical section had been temporarily moved upstairs to the ground floor to make room for a sort-out, it appeared.
I agree with you about finding things. However, it is pretty well staffed and the people do have pretty good product knowledge.

I've just watched the video on the Fugi. Is it really that easy to use to give those results?

Spouse won't even lend his out, he couldn't believe the results.

Pretty much so yes. I wouldn't be without mine.

Yes, would probably be a fair answer. Have a roll of kitchen towel to hand to wipe the thing from time to time, and a can of IPA to clean it off properly from time to time, and you are set.

Surely Harrods would sell the fuggen things?

Some implausible essentials for good tiling etc.
- three quid on a _rubber_ sponge, not a foam one (Axminster)
- ten quid on a fuggen-piece-of-plastic
- Around a quid for a Stubai rubber Polyfilla mixing bowl
They just work better.
Or else you could employ the BIL-from-Medway-Hell
