Is it still possible to get woodchip paper?

    Okay, I know woodchip paper isn't exactly fashionable these days but I decorated my bedroom with it about 10 years ago because the bare walls were too bad to paint over without replastering them. I needed to re-paper the wall by the window so I went to B&Q the other day to get a roll of woodchip. They didn't have the traditional woodchip but they had a "woodchip effect" paper which looked okay so I bought it. I've put it up but I'm not happy with it. I'm just wondering if anyone knows if proper woodchip paper is still being manufactured? If it's still out there, does anyone know where I can get a roll?

    Thanks for your input.

    It's definitely still available, but I don't know Cork or any decor suppliers there...not trendy enough for B&Q or woodies...smaller decorating shops are where I'd look.
    God I hate woodchip (by coincidence I spent the afternoon stripping a wall of ancient painted woodchip)...if I was hiding bad walls I'd go for a heavy gauge lining paper or anaglypta.
    If you can't find woodchip locally try online...I've bought wallpaper on ebay...not much you can't find on there...
