It is absolutely amazing what a little 'in depth research' can do. I turned the (blank!) label round and there it was, etched into the steel!

Johnny, Martin - there are so many of us that we could form a wonderful club ("Daft but happy" )-  but since none of us would remember what it was called, we'd better just muddle on as we are!  ;D ;D
