    This seems to indicate they are.

    On a side note, who wouldn't want to make their own tin of just your favourite one!! :D

    Double digits day, Sept 17th is like cresting a hill, you work hard to get to the top of the hill and then once crested you fly down the other side at a rate of knots. Weeks will fly by from here on in.

    Thats a good thing btw!
