moral dilemma

Of course this is only made in England. Maybe we should move to avoid the horrid shipping costs? It is on ebay and the shipping is fifty dollars.

Oooh. Pricey.
Ever do any craft stuff? You can do wondrous things with a little wood, a saw, some wood glue and sandpaper to make something like the UK one (along with some tubing, etc.).
Here is a simpler one, but alas, it dollhouse furniture, but the same idea: http://images.farmgoodsforkids.com/full/st-5516500.jpg

Really, though, how about this: http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?dest=9999999997&product_id=1977862&sourceid=0100000030660804902498
and there would be real cleaning going on, too...always a plus! The handle could probably be trimmed down and a furniture cap put on the end for safety.

HOW about THIS?!:

it's an upright, but wooden! (which is what you want, I'm guessing, as there are MANY choices in plastic).
