Not new, based on a Michael Harris idea. He made super big ones and sometimes signed them.

These are referred to as sculptures, the 5" high ones have been made for donkey's years - I don't know if they're still making them, I wouldn't be surprised if they were. They're all different, each one has to be judged on it's own merits (or demerits?). Some are unbelievably dull, others can be fantastic - it tends to be the bigger ones which are fabby, though.

There was a whole crowd of us looking for Ivo's Uranium glass toilet seat, and I've just been asking M if he'd like to go and see "Sunshine on Leith" - it's being done by our fabby local Rep theatre - and I told him; "It's been very highly proclaimed."  :pb:  :wsh:

Certainly the most attractive "M&C" I've ever seen....that is an unusual one Christine. Better watch out for "you-know-who-particularly-likes-knotty-bits".....
