Why is a Beer Engine Sparkler so hard to get!

[Sainter1775]

So recently I go a mint condition CQ Angram Hand pump from the UK. However it didn't come with a sparkler, and it would seem almost impossible to get one. I have order from place in the UK.... but 20 days later still no sparkler. Has any one here had any luck? If so where?.



Thanks

You can get a posh stainless steel sparkler from here:

I've ordered parts from A1Barstuff.co.uk and they seem pretty good. 20 days for delivery seems ridiculously slow though, maybe they sent it by boat rather than air.

Probably because more than half the real ale pubs in england are south of the sparkler border . There's a pretty hard divide between the north where people believe in sparklers and the south where sparklers are considered only slightly above satan
