It is an Aloe, kaz, one of the 'variegata' varieties, but I'm not sure which one.

My Aloe Vera hasn't got the thorns on it, very good for healing burns etc.

If I'd seen this, I'd have known. My mum walked into this one day when we went to the Boathouse. Gave herself a sore leg.

Aloe sp. Asphodelaceae.
Aloe sp. is just one of the 250 species of Aloe native to Africa and surrounding area. This plant is quite possibly a hybrid and has very tight rosettes spreading up to 6 inches (15 cm) across. Leaves are medium green, up to 3 inches (7.5 cm) long by 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide, with reddish tips. The edges of the leaves have white spines, with the underneath surface bearing a single row of spines and white tubercles. It is a trunk-forming species, with a slender trunk 1 inch (2.5 cm) in diameter
