Do I read this, and the article in the Sunday Telegraph that states that one such set is now up to £100K on e-Bay, right?
I think it is up to or over £150,000 now and there seem to be a lot of people jumping on the band wagon. However, the first people to buy will, I'm sure, be gutted when they realise that the 8000th torch will only go for a fraction of this (I expect).

I have to say I was pretty off when I heard about it; some people benefitting so much from the privilege of bearing a torch. Thinking about it now, however, it could be a great revenue for the tax man, and doesn't Britain need it!!
