Like bats, the best pads available at any given time are those which happen to be available on offer which several members take up at the same time.

The problem is though, that like bats, it is soon realised (yet never admitted) that these new wonder-items are indeed no better than anything else, and several people realise they have only bought them because it was deemed cool to do so.
