The chaps at the NHS did not give up on me, and kept the fella with the scythe away from me on a few occasions

Likewise. I had nightmares for over a year afterwards but I won't hear a word said against the hands on ladies and gents of the NHS

Nightmares for that long, its been just over two weeks since I got out and I'm having nightmares every night. I've not really slept since I got out

About six years ago my kidneys stopped due, in the main, to quite nasty food poisoning.

Blues and twos to A&E, the main guy warned that I could be on dialysis forever.

Somehow and with a load of powerful meds, some weeks later I was sent home fully functional with the farewell of 'You're the best result we've had this year.'

Can't forget that and those that dug me out of a very deep hole.

Humbling.

i have just lost a third friend in less than a year  two under 50 and one under 30  :(

Unhappy but lucky up until now. I've bought many a chassis from Japan and all have arrived with no issues. For the first time a £26.00 purchase has come to the attention of HM Customs and a £13.20 fee is due. I know an £8 chunk is RM's fee but in total it's over 50% of the cost of the item :(

Newportnobby

Sadly I think rather than being unlucky this time, you've been lucky previously. It's the reason I stopped buying from Japan and the States.

I agree, just think you've been lucky so far.

wouldn't dare to suggest HMRC been set new targets  :-[

I've been very lucky with many kits etc for wargames, and ummmm[ SWMBO might see this, so will not commit details] one or two Cl37s  :angel: over the years, and only got the dreaded duty once.

OK, I don't mind the duty, what annoys the hell out of me is that Royal Snail charges me £8 for me to drive to their depot, always one you can't walk / get a bus to, to pay them to take the duty.

why can't HMRC just e-mail me, let me pay the duty on line, and cut out the robbing b******s at RM ?

Because the good ship RM is sinking quickly enough as it is. Without little earners like this to help bailout a little, they'd be sunk already. :D

I may be wrong but I believe RM handles it as a delegated customs function and their "markup" pays for the customs shed and to employ dedicated RM staff.  so its the government that are dodging the cost of processing them at customs.
