I'm not a smoker but some of the pictures on the cigarette packs are gross. It's like a Carcass album cover. Still doesn't put them off mind ya.

My girlfriend has taken to putting a literal sticking plaster over those images on her packets of fags

If you can't see it, it doesn't exist. Smokers are eternal optimists.

Amazon sure love their packaging. Sure it's all recyclable, but it's still wasteful. I guess I'm just evil for using Amazon.

Amazon UK?

 

[seanc]

Yes. Is it different elsewhere?

You'll all be glad to know I have a new podger. It's shit. But my new gorilla bars seem kick-ass.

Were you hit with the extra VAT charge?

 

[seanc]

Not that I'm aware of. The prices were good. I'm in the UK though.

Ah right.
They've changed the vat rules on items bought from non EU countries

Revenue reminds consumers of upcoming VAT rule changes for goods bought from non-EU countries

It's made things a bit awkward.

I had to pay approx €1.50 tax + approx €3.50 processing fee to An Post last week just to get a stupid little €5 bottle of hair clipper oil released. I thought it was coming from Ireland but it was the UK.

It is crazy alright. A gasún over here noted just how many ingredients there are in a Tesco meal deal sandwich. I had to explain to him that, because of Brexit, each one of those ingredients requires paperwork, as well as VAT and so on, if you were to make it in ROI and try to sell it in NI, or vice versa. He couldn't fathom it. The EU single market is older than he is, he doesn't know any different.

But for you dudes buying your fancy rare records and that, it really does seem shit and stupid.

I tried to buy a guitar from Britain last week and gave up and cancelled the order cos of the rigmarole

I'm sure and David kronenbourg could do a little import export business

I've never had to pay VAT and an "An Post Fee", whatever that is on a record from the UK before.

Customs value (which I think means the cost of the record I bought) € 34.46

Import Duty: 0:00
Excise Duty: 0:00
VAT: € 7.92
An Post Fee: € 3.50

Total to be Paid: € 11.42

Its bollocks. They tried to charge me some "brexit" fee of £5 on the guitar amongst various other spurious charges
