Was in "poundland" the other day - scientific calculator suitable for
higher level GCSE for £1. They had about 40 in store nearly brought
the whole lot but settled for 1 to evaluate. No makers name or
identification on the packaging.

A quick search of ebay turned it up:

P&P is high but should be negotiable on bulk purchases.

Someone must know the original source of these.
