[senit] talking pictogram

I didnt realise Picturepoint was still around.

No speech but I use Counting Pictures (Black Cat - Granada Learning) with my 
key stage 4 students - we do a food survey that involves them going round 
the school with a questionnaire.  The pictures are good - but you do have to 
use those that are provided.
