As an aside, one Totokia question has had me puzzled for years. In the film Carry on up the Jungle a hostile tribe (I can't remember the name of the tribe) appears, and they are all carrying totokias. Which of course offends my sense of pedantry, since the film is supposed to be set in Africa! I sometimes wonder where they got them from - and if there is a heap of them still in a corner of the film studios.

Hi, I saw the film several months ago, and I couldn't help but spot the Huge Totokia......and what a Beauty it was!!! I only spotted that one....Cheers K
