Yeah. Mind you the first 500 or so QLs had a _very_ good clear plastic
membrane that lasts for ever.
They changed to the crummy one that goes brittle probably to save 20p.
It would have been nice to find the supplier of that one.
If anyone fancies subsidising a run of 5000 or so, the manufacturer
would probably make more - but they would still be the dodgy ones.
