Never heard of them AD, but if you can get hold of some with a root plate I'm sure they could be grown on using the experimental leek technique

I don't go near waitrose very often but I think there might be one in Manchester so I will have a mooch when I go dress shopping soon.

If they were in Waitrose when I've been I would have just mistaken them for leeks

Is it these? Buy Shimonita Spring Onion Seeds

A thread elsewhere suggests not ... but I spose if they grow bigger than normal spring onions it's close...

Am vaguely attracted to the idea of just having to chop one or two up rather than a whole bunch!

But is the flavour still like a spring onion?

That would be my worry, as giant veg tend to be not as sweet (or as nice) as their smaller bretheren.

I always buy far too many onion sets and plant the surplus close together (ie. almost touching)

You harvest them before they start to swell and use as, guess what - giant spring onions!
