He could be right about the toilet cleaners - I bought all my Leica gear from the guy who cleans out the toilets down at the Open Market here in Brighton. However, I wouldn't say he was dim-witted - he drives a hard bargain and has an extensve library of leica reference material behind the cleaning fluids in his cupboard.
