He did manage to get one from Meadowhall. However not without a little luck. When he got there they had all sold out early that morning and the salesman said people are just buying them to sell on for a quick profit. Luckily he asked if and when they might be available in Thailand and the guy went to ask the manager if he knew. When he came back he said a telephone order had not been collected and as it was 5pm he could have it if he wanted.
Now a happy lad with his new toy (it is rather good though I must admit).
Thanks for all your help Elsa
