Well I thought I was going in for one and I came out with two! They are called Orinoco and Tobermory, photos to follow after they have had chance to settle in a bit!

I got them from Gleadless Pet Shop on White Lane, a super place that really care for the animals they sell.

They are both boys, Orinoco is a white texel and Tobermory is a chocolate shorthair.

I would take a photo but they took an aversion to the hoover and have burried themselves in their hay and are refusing to come out!!!!

My sons guinea pig does that. Everytime you go near the cage with something in your hand (unless she can smell veggies of course) she runs and hides in the hay? If you don't put enough hay in the cage for her to bury herself she looks at us in disgust! She needs a friend though coz her companion died and she isn't happy.
Good luck catching a snap of the piggys!!

Finally a responsible pet shop that doesn't sell lone guinea pigs. They should never ever be bought without a cage/hutch mate.

Well obviously yes, that's a different situation and I'm sure they'd sell one on it's own if a customer said that.

As promised here is a photo, not the greatest as I couldn't work out how to turn the flash of the camera but its a start, more to follow if I can get them outside.

Orinoco is on the right and Tobermory is on the left
Strix edit: this photo has been replaced by tess667, so you'll find the link further down the thread

The pet shop in question has before now sold me one on its own as I needed a companion for one other I had.
