Dear Tony, I can see you are tempted...
> Perhaps the 'staff of office' for the BSSCSS > Secretary should be a bespoke gun by Messrs. > Holland & Holland... I'll duly propose you as Secretary; all we need is a seconder and the job's yours! There will probably be a bit of a quibble about the cost of the staff of office but I am sure that BSS members will see the merits of the idea. At a minimum of £45k these things do seem a trifle pricey but then some of the sundials I have been involved with have worked out a good deal more than that :-) I had a look at: < http://www.hollandandholland.com/ > and some of the engraving is indeed truly exquisite. I am glad that there are still people who can do this and even gladder that there are people who will pay for it. Maybe some H&H customers would like a nice sundial, perhaps on the south wall of the east wing?
