Tim adds: Holmium…I’m one of the very few people (and I do mean very few indeed) who has ever sold holmium to anyone. I once sold a kilo of holmium oxide to a man who makes the calibration lenses for spectrophotometers. That was a decade ago: he’ll be ready for his next kilo in, well , four or five year perhaps.

Not like you to weigh in with such a leaden joke, Mr E?
