Title: brexit - the good news !
Post by: joe cassidy on April 14, 2022, 12:53:09 PM
The good news is that, post brexit, duty free within Europe is back !

Bought some perfume at Birmingham airport yesterday 25% cheaper than what I pay in France  :)

I've stashed it away and will give to the missus when I need some brownie points.

P.S. Had a couple of pints of Greene King Abott Ale at the White Horse in Whitehouse Common

I didn't even realise duty free wasn't available pre-brexit ! I know when I used to go on the ferries to Belgium once a year for my Bacci supply, there were still duty free offers on the ships  :doh:
