The gy is a dreamer as said above there must be loads of white IS's around when ever i see an IS its either white or red!
The blue and black IS's seem much rarer than the white ones.
Having said all this i would like to know how many IS's are left, how would i go about finding this out??
Its been quoted that theres something like 900 left in the UK but nothing to back it up!
