Cocktail sticks and toothpicks supplier

[Harry Witchel]

Dear David --
   I am not aware of the kind of cocktail sticks/toothpicks that one can 
get at a Chinese supermarket, but I can say that supermarket brand 
cocktail sticks are generally impregnated with disinfectant for hygienic 
purposes.  The best cocktail sticks for the lab are Canadian virgin wood. 
 I can name a supplier, but he is a wholesaler who will only sell you a 
lifetime supply:

Bray Leisure Ltd.
Park Rd.
Farringdon
Oxford

   Best wishes,
   Harry
