I have about 7 different types in my garden, some are quite small and others about 4 times as big, a couple are the double varieties other have longer flowers and some with different green markings, they all do rather well where they grow,if you want to transplant them do it when the flowers go over but still lots of green.
our front garden is one mass of white at the moment, my wife digs out loads to give away, but every year we have this display of white.

I was only joking...I'm only 36 and I do remember these . I suppose you could say they were the forerunners to the Clubcard & Nectar card schemes?

Back to the OP with this lens out does this mean that the long awaited 60-250mm is just around the corner?

Just check the SRS site launch later this month.

A couple of weeks ago, I bought an old vivitar light meter, on US ebay. $15 Dollars, (£10.40)and another six quid to get it here. This morning, the Postman gave me a card, saying that I had to pay £19. Import duty! Apparently, the Royal mail pay this automatically to Customs and Excise, and Won't release the package until I pay them. I could not believe that import duty would be payable on a second hand light meter, costing ten quid! - After doing some Googling - I find that import duty is payable on goods, new, or second hand, OVER THE VALUE OF £18. excluding postage cost.
The meter cost £10, so I have been unfairly taxed. Yes? - I will now have to pay the Post office the fee, and go through the no doubt long and complicated process of claiming the money back from HM Customs and Excise. All for a ten quid meter!. It must be somebody's job to open parcels from the States, and make a wild guess as to how much it might be worth. - So, be warned,.. Careful when buying from outside the EU.
I had the same happen to me on a camera bought for spares, the seller had scribled the selling price on the customs docket as $10.00
the two "zeros" they do as small above the line customs read it as $1000
Remember they have got to make loads of money to pay the bankers bonuses
B****Y stupid or what?

Yes, just be patient it will be worth it, and as Iceblinker said the energiser lithium batteries are the best they seem to go on for ever.
I have had the K10 and now got the K20 and K200 and I would not swap the K200 for a K10, but that is how I feel.
