Thanks Revdougal - I for one and I suspect Cliff too really wanted to see that! And I want to find one too!

Ha ha! Thanks for the v amusing anecdote Eddie. I had a remarkably similar experience in the market, I think (the memory grows dim!) at Rostaq, home of SOPR. I seem to recall though, that many bystanders were entirely satisfied with the results.
