Actually, you've just jogged my memory.  I think we talked about this at one 
point.  If they're making more money on them elsewhere it could explain the 
shortage.  I wonder if that's true in England, too.  I was surprised to find 
they really weren't as available in London as you'd think they were 
according to the advertisements.  
 
Regards, 

Dick
