A very merry day to you, Matthew!!! MG

Who's actually shipping it? Is it a US firm or a UK firm? (Lots of Amazon UK sellers are shipping from the US and this attracts customs dues for Britain.) MG Since I bought it from Amazon UK itself (not a seller like Caiman), and since they're offering free shipping within the UK, I would assume it's coming from the UK and not the US. Yep- if you are ordering direct from amazon.co.uk then there is no way you should have to pay customs. That's right for Britain, but Vibes is in the USA. Bit hard to pay customs dues on US manufactured stuff being reimported, but... maybe you'll get away with it Vibes. MG If memory serves, I've ordered a few other things from Amazon UK and Amazon Germany, and I've never paid duties on any of my purchases. Among these purchases were the Tal Farlow and Basie Mosaics. Well a couple of weeks ago, I paid eleven quid odd, of which eight were to Royal Mail, for a bunch of OJCs I bought from Amazon.uk, but which were shipped by a firm called Thermite-UK, which despite appearances is in South Carolina. I had assumed from their name that the firm was local. Won't make that mistake again. MG

That's certainly true. But the chips were down and the game was putting the opposing side under pressure and taking advantage of their mistakes. It makes for a different kind of game - one that's a bit more like cricket, I think MG

You gotta remember, Porcy, that this was based on 1963 technology MG
