I'm going to write a letter to Boris in which I will explain Brexit was a mistake. I think this will resolve the problem.

You had better hurry up. Boris will be going on a very long holiday soon.

Looks like you'll you might have a bit of time yet @Shabbaz
After dissembling for months, Cressida Dick has just announced that the Met is now going to investigate some of the events in No10 - which of course means that Sue Gray's 'independent' report will remain unpublished until the Met complete their investigations.

In the meantime, I suspect Bozo and his mates are praying for a war in the Ukraine to distract the public from his nefarious knees-ups.

Now who is it that extended Cressida Dicks job at the Met I wonder?
Oh yes it was the Government - funny that.....

By the way, you were lucky that the parcel reached the Netherlands when it did - if it had left any later you may have been waiting even longer.........

If it makes you feel better, I did exactly that (pre-paid customs as it was below 150€) and this happened:

Entry of my BoR bracelet was rejected as it was deemed dangerous. 😁
Same thing (same direction) happened to a pair of socks sent by my Mum in the UK to her granddaughter in Germany for Christmas. Fully itemized package, with weights and values. One month later after being rejected it re-appeared in the UK.

Brexit has pushed the cost of watches being shipped from the EU to the UK by 20%. Absolutely grim.

I sold a watch to a buyer in Poland last year. It was shipped from the U.S. via USPS international priority mail on November 30th. USPS tracking shows that it was processed through a facility of the Polish postal system in Warsaw on January 14th. The buyer is still waiting for it to be delivered. My last purchase from Europe (Crotia) took 55 days to make it to my door here in the U.S.
I literally had a watch from Greece delivered to the US in less than a week last autumn ::psy::

Unfortunately if you look at his history in detail he has spent his life wriggling out of problems and I sadly would not be surprised if he managed to side step his latest fiasco 😡

And of course it’ll be subtly planned to ensure this report won’t be released until after the next election 😗 🤬

Waiting for a watch from UK since November 15th (yes, November 15th!). Probability this will be the decisive week.
Thank you Brexit.
It is clear that we are in the middle of a trade war, that UK will lose.
I have heard dozens of traders here in Italy who will no longer stock up on wool and fabrics in the UK

Interesting turn of events, thought they’d try to hold it back. Buckle up, this could be fun.

Blue passports! That makes everything worthwhile.

And of course, Freedom!
