I have also noticed that - the ones Febi give out look really shiny and plasticy - I'm sure a Magpie would like 'em (but I don't).

The best (cheap) ones I've found so far are made by an English company called QH (Quinton Hazell) => the one I bought were probably old new stock though - don't know what they are like now.
