Andrew, had my pocket allowed it... I would have gone for the 77 ltd... Remember that song from 'Fiddler on the roof'? " If I were a wealthy man..." ? Arijit

Come over and visit India sometime. I shall take you Kingfishing... Arijit

Had gone visiting my Dad. Just as I was to sit for lunch this birdie came and perched on a pole outside. We have a big tank behind the house. The camera was handy....:) Arijit
